Perhaps it's semantics, but was he known primarily by Bill or William? If the former, perhaps the article should be named as such. If it's the latter, the Bill in parentheses in a couple places isn't needed.
Heh, one of my main sources calls him Bill, the other doesn't, so I was sort of having an each-way bet. I don't mind losing "(Bill)" where it is in the lead and infobox and just leaving it in the main body if that's what you're suggesting. Cheers,

"Promoted Wing Commander in May 1944" Promoted to Wing Commander
"Brill served two terms as RAAF Director of Personnel Services, in 1956–59 and, promoted to Group Captain, in 1960–63" it feels like there's too many commas and makes the sentence confusing; were 1956-59 and 1960-63 the two terms? modifying the group captain note may help.
