The parents of Seaman Angus Maclean, RNR, 28 Brue, have been notified that he was accidentally killed on 7th July 1917 and buried with full military honours in the Naval Cemetery at Orkney on the 10th. Maclean, who was serving on board HMT South Esk, was only 18 years of age. Of a genial and kindly disposition, he was a general favourite and much sympathy is felt for the family in their bereavement.
