9 July 1943
Many friends, both in this country and in America, will be sorry to hear that Seaman Donald Macleod, 39b Balallan, is missing at sea. We shall all miss his cheery smile and hearty greeting. At the age of 19, he emigrated to Peru, and there served an apprenticeship in the copper mines. On the outbreak of war, however, he could not resist the call of the sea and joined the merchant navy, serving in many parts of the world. While in a convoy in the North Atlantic, and during a heavy gale, his ship became separated from the rest and has since been considered lost with all hands. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to his parents, brothers and sisters, who mourn a very promising and cheery young lad.
