Regiment Killed in action August 16, 1917, at 19 years of age. Born in Toronto, Macdonald was one of
Appleby’s original students, having followed founding Headmaster John Guest from Upper Canada
College. He played on the First Rugby (Football), Hockey and Cricket teams, won the Victor Ludorum
Trophy in 1915, and earned admission to the University of Toronto. He was commissioned a Lieutenant
in the Thirty-fourth Regiment, Canadian Militia, but reverted to the ranks twice in an effort to reach
France. On arrival in England he was promised a commission in the Surrey Regiment; he took his course,
but could not be gazetted because he was under age. He went to France as a private soldier in the
Trench Mortar Battery of the Fourth Brigade, and after nine months in the trenches, was promoted
Lieutenant in the field. He was killed by a bomb while reconnoitering ground in front of a newly-won
position in the outskirts of Lens.
