Military Cross.
Macdonald, Lieutenant (T. /Captain) Angus Hugh, 4th Highland Mountain Brigade.
Gaz. 8/11/15."
Macdonald, 2nd Lieutenant Neil. (Special Reserve). Gaz. 14/9/17.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when F.O.O. for his
battery. Finding his observation obstructed by long grass, he advanced
about 200 yards into no man's land, moving from shell hole to shell hole
until he got a good view. He then returned for his wire and laid it out
by himself, observing for his battery for three hours during which he was
constantly sniped and in great danger from his own shell.
Macdonald, 2nd Lieutenant William Albert. (Special Reserve). Gaz. 13/9/18.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While his battery
position was being heavily shelled by the enemy, a railway truck which
was close by containing cartridges was set alight, thus endangering a
large consignment of battery ammunition and gas shell, which had just
arrived. He at once rushed with his commanding officer and two other
ranks to the fire, and after half-an-hour's strenuous and dangerous work,
succeeded in extinguishing it.
M'Intvre, Lieutenant William Bertram. (201st Siege Battery). Gaz. 30/5/19.
MacKean, Lieutenant Andrew Neil. (Special Reserve). Gaz. 26/7/18.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an intense
battle he volunteered to go forward as a Special F.O.O., and with the
greatest courage and determination he moved about for twenty-four hours
amid extremely heavy gas and H.E. bombardment, gathering and send-
ing back information of the highest importance. Although suffering
from gas, he continued his work all through the trying days of a retreat,
and his example of self-sacrifice was beyond all praise.
