Victor Alexander Charles McIntosh (or Mackintosh) was employed as a Forester on the Balmoral Estate from 1913 until 1959, other than his period of service with the Gordons during the Great War. In addition to his Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal, awarded in 1933, with Bars in 1943 and 1953, he received the R.V.M. in silver from King George VI on 8 June 1950. He is believed to have been the son of Charles McIntosh (see Lot 78).
