Rflmn. John McDonald

British Army 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade

from:Limehouse, London

(d.21st April 1917)

My great uncle, Rifleman John McDonald of the 2nd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, was a regular soldier who enlisted age 20 in 1911. He went to France in 1914 with the rest of the battalion and was killed in 1917.

My grandfather, his younger brother (who was in the RAF in WW2), never spoke of him although I believe my middle name is after him. He was probably one of the few old contemptibles to survive that long. I have found his grave site in France and will be visiting it this year,
