Skipman Posted 11 February , 2009 Share Posted 11 February , 2009 I have a silver war medal with this engraved on rim: 236 Sjt.J.t.McDonald Seaforth Highlanders. The information from owner is, he was from Dunkeld Perthshire, died aged 22 nr a place called Douaillmont? ( have heard of Douaumont ) Have looked in CWGC, Scottish War memorial, and for a MIC and can't tie up these details. Can anyone help identify the right man, and correct any wrong information. Would this have been engraved when received, or later by owner? Is it a fake? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 11 February , 2009 Share Posted 11 February , 2009 Thanks for the MIC Steve. Maybe he didn't die. ( Did you get the MIC on Ancestry? ) Mel I saw that one , and presumed it was him too. Cheers Mike. Edit: The Scottish National War Memorial says 200190 was from Ross Shire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
