Stornoway Gazette
Another gallant son of Carloway has fallen. Donald Macleod, 5 Park Carloway, has received intelligence that his son, sergt. Donald Macleod, Camerons, was killed in action on 12 October 1917. The sad news cast a gloom over the whole district. Sergt Donald Macleod, who was only aged 23, was employed at Inverness at the outbreak of war. Mobilised with the 3rd Cameron Highlanders, he proceeded to France on September 14th and was in the thick of it ever since. Over a year ago, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant and lately he was recommended for a high honour, and had he survived, he would have been decorated on coming out of the trenches. It was not to be, however. He was a young man of upright character, a most dutiful son, a genial and true friend, and a general favourite with all who knew him. The greatest sympathy is extended to his bereaved parents, brothers and sisters in their great sorrow. His officer writes:
"Today we mourn with you the loss of your gallant son, Sergt. Donald Macleod, killed in action 12/10/17. He was my platoon sergeant and could not have had one more trustworthy or capable of leading his men in action. We, his surviving officers, extend to you a hand in deepest sympathy and desire to express our own sense of loss in a good comrade gone".

Battalion war diary for 18 June 1915
The battalion is entrenched on the eastern bank of the Yser Canal, north of Ypres. The diary entry refers to the period of 17 to 22 June 1915
Wonderful weather. Comparatively quiet week, with exception of the usual shelling, which was particularly annoying along the canal after dark. The line taken over was pretty good. We've put a lot of work into it and improved it a great deal. On the left of our line at a small salient, the Germans have sapped forward and made a T trench within 25 yards of our trench. They are supposed to be mining or at any rate boring there. Exploded a small mine there just before we took over. Elsewhere, the trenches are about 300 yards apart. The Germans do not seem offensive and are consolidating their line as hard as they can. Several casualties during the week, mostly from shell fire, and some from bullets.
