Three: Corporal W. McDonald, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders

General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, S.E. Asia 1945-46 (14855729 L. Cpl. W. McDonald. Seaforth.) with official corrections; Korea 1950-53, 1st issue (14885729 Cpl. W. McDonald. A. & S.H.); U.N. Korea 1950-54, unnamed, generally very fine or better (3) £200-240

Published casualty roll gives ‘Cpl. W. McDonald wounded 7.10.1950’.

Compiled from
The Times during the War, the roll does not list service numbers and the dates listed are invariably those of the issues of the newspaper and not the dates of the incident. In this case the action is probably the battle for Hill 282, 23 September 1950, for which Major K. Muir, 1st Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
