Sjt. Walter Gordon MacDonald MID.
British Army 12th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
from:Altofts
(d.12th May 1917)
Walter McDonald was my great grandfather. I have been researching him for some time but have come to a dead end. He was mentioned in dispatches, but as of yet I cannot find out why. I have contacted the regimental HQ who helpfully sent me a copy of the war diary for this period, but alas Walter is not mentioned. I have acquired 2 differing copies of his Medal card, one with the Great war trio on and the other with just his MID. Any advice of avenues to follow would be gratefully received.
