Richard D. McMillan was a British (later Canadian) journalist and war correspondent. He covered Europe throughout the 1930s for United Press, and was the first correspondent accredited to the B.E.F. after the outbreak of hostilities in late 1939. He continued as a war correspondent through the end of World War II, and continued covering Europe during the hard economic times after the war. He and his wife emigrated to Canada in 1947, a decision he wrote about in an article for Maclean's magazine which ran in the issue of 15 August 1947. He was awarded the O.B.E. for services to journalism, but reportedly returned his medal as a protest in 1990.
