John Urquhart Macdonald born circa 1892, was a native of Heatherly, Inverness, Scotland. He enlisted locally at Inverness on 2 September 1914, at which time he was 22 years of age, and joined one of the two local regiments, in his case the Lovat's Scouts (Yeomanry). He first experienced overseas active service when he disembarked with his unit at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, on 26 September 1915. After service at Gallpoli with the Lovat's Scouts (Yeomanry) - where contracted Dystentry - John was trannsferred to 1st Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, whith whom he served in France and Flanders, as a member of 16 Platoon 'D' Company. On 16/17 September 1917 he is confirmed as having been 'Wounded-in-Action' after receiving Gunshot & Sharpnel Wounds , or GSW, to his right leg and back during the battle for 'Passchendale Ridge'. Inspite of the award of the Military Medal being published in the London Gazette of 23 February 1918, his service papers are notated to show that he was actually notiofied of the award of the Military Medal on 17 December 1917, when awarded the Military Medal by the II Corps Commander. Evidently a highly valued and respected soldier, John was recommended as a candidate for 'Officer Training' in late 1918, whether he attended such training is not known, but he transferred to the Army Reserve on 19 February 1919. Sometime shortly after taking his discharge from the British Army on 31 March 1920, John took up an overseas appointment in Northern Rhodesia where he appears to have been employed by the African Lakes Corporation Ltd (a letter in his extant pension papers refers)
