Son of Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, of 77, Laroch, Ballachulish, Argyllshire.
The death of Lance-Corporal Donald MacIntyre, aged 22 years, youngest son of Mr. D. MacIntyre and Mrs MacIntyre, 77 Laroch , Ballachulish , took place on 7th December at 20 General Hospital, Dannes, Carmier, France, from pneumonia. He mobilised with the 8th Argylls (Territorials) at the outbreak of War and proceeded to France in May, 1915. He was severely gassed in 1916, and wounded in 1918, and was admitted into hospital on 14th November, suffering from broncho-pneumonia from which he succumbed. He was one of the youngest members of F (Ballachulish) Company, who full of martial spirit, left their Highland home in Glencoe, but of whom many have been left on the stricken fields of France. 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.
