More about Neil Mackinnon/McKinnon

Neil was the brother of Farquhar Mackinnon/McKinnon, S/12845, 1/8th Battalion, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, who was killed in action 21.03.1918. Both brothers are listed on C.W.G.C. with different spellings of their surname.

Pte. Fred M’Kinnon, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, is the second son of Mr and Mrs M’Kinnon, 10 West Bell Street to make the supreme sacrifice.  Their son, Gunner Neil M’Kinnon, R.F.A., who was employed in the Manchester office of the “Courier,” was killed in July, 1917.  Another son, Corporal Lauchlin, Seaforths, was severely wounded.  Fred, who was 27 years of age, enlisted in 1915, and had been on active service for two years.  Prior to enlisting he was employed in the Royal Hotel, Dundee.
