"War medals at Glasgow exhibition," Inverness Courier, July 14, 1911, p. 5a.   "Lord Kitchener was very much interested on his visit to the Exhibition last week in the collection of war medals in the west gallery of the Palace of History. These were shown to him by Mr W.H. Macdonald, secretary of Hutcheson's Educational Trust, who was introduced to the Field Marshal by Professor Glaister. Mr Macdonald is especially interested in these exhibits, as among them is a case of decorations awarded to his father, the late Captain Henry Macdonald, who like Lord Kitchener, served in the Royal Engineers. In addition to the Victoria Cross, his honours included the Star of the Legion of Honour, the Distinguished Service medal, the Crimean medal (with three clasps for Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol), and the Turkish medal. Captain Macdonald was born in Inverness in 1823, and served throughout the Crimean campaign 1854-55. At Sebastopol he was severely wounded, and was twice mentioned in dispatches. He died in Glasgow in 1893, and was buried there with military honours."
