Generally in D field names start with a lowercase (unless you 
need them with uppercase).

The error message is not the best. It is saying you are not 
accessing data, just its definition. So you need to instantiate 
the union:

struct Foo {
     ubyte[8] name;
     union Bar {
         ushort physicalAddress, virtualSize;
     }
     Bar b;
}

void main() {
     Foo f;
     f.b.physicalAddress = 10;
}


Or use an anonymous one:

struct Foo {
     ubyte[8] name;
     union {
         ushort physicalAddress, virtualSize;
     }
}

void main() {
     Foo f;
     f.physicalAddress = 10;
}
