I was told my 2nd great uncle, William Hill (b. 1880, Milngavie, Scotland, married 1907, Ann Stanton) served in WW1 and died Oct. 12, 1918 in France.  I cannot find his name anywhere.  Any thoughts.

If he died in WW1 you should be able to find him on www.cwgc.org

Where did you get the info from re his regiment and date of death?

FindMyPast has details of the pensions for his widow and children https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record/browse?id=s2%2fgbm%2fpin82%2f094%2f0034

His service records seem not to have survived.
