Pte. James Samuel Mackintosh MM.
British Army 1st Battalion Cameron Highlanders
from:Ardersier
My grandfather, James Samuel Mackintosh, son of James Mackintosh, Farm Manager of Dalcross Farm, Inverness, now the site of Inverness airport, fought in the Great War and gained a Military Medal at the Battle of Epehy as part of the Battles of the Hindenburg lines - Spetember 8-24.
All I know is he was awarded the medal for gallantry under fire and during his campaign received some mustard gas poisoning. He went on to become a Chief Inspector of the Galsgow Police in the 1950's.
