Donald Maciver, Laxay

Stornoway Gazette, 27 November 1942
It has come as a shock to the innumerable friends of the late Lieut. Donald Maciver to learn that he has paid the supreme sacrifice in the Battle of Egypt.
Donald, as he was affectionately known, was loved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and his many friends in Aberdeen, where he was widely known in connection with the sporting activities of his regiment "The Camerons" will mourn the loss of a "real sport and a gentleman".
His many relations and friends in the Isle of Lewis (his father comes from Laxay, Lochs), will mourn the passing of a boy they knew and loved and for whom he so gladly gave his life.

Too good to live
But oh, so young to die
