Rfmn. Frederick William Mcleod MM.
British Army 18th (London Irish Rifles) Btn. London Regiment
from:Wandsworth London
Frederick Mcleod, known as Old Mac was my Grandfather and he served throughout the first world war. He was at Loos and I believe he took part in the valiant Footballer of Loos incident. He won a Military Medal in Oct. 1918.
Having survived during the war he went to Ireland with the Black and Tans. He then tried to re-enlist in 1939 but was rejected as too old and served in the London Fire Brigade during the blitz, with all the danger and trauma that implies.
He survived until the 1980s and to us this brave hero was just Grandad.
