He was in all the engagements of his gallant regiment throughout the War. He was held in great esteem by all who knew him. He was a general favourite with all who came in contact with him and the news of his death at an early age, after having passed through the dangers of the great war and at its close of hostilities, has been received with much regret by his many friends and acquaintances. His sister, Miss MacIntyre, was with him for ten days until the end. He was interred at Etaples, France. Much sympathy has been expressed for his parents and relatives in their great loss. His brother is Shoeing Smith John MacIntyre, M.M., awarded the medal for bravery in action while serving in France with the Argylls.
