The family wish to obtain as many records of Daniel as possible and none of the family members currently alive have any idea of where Daniel's medals are or where any documents have gone to. We would be grateful for any info or help.
Editors Note: Bailleul is several miles behind the front line and was the location of a number of Casualty Clearing Stations, it is safe to assume that Daniel was wounded in the opening attack of the Battle of Messines, evacuated via the medical routes and succumbed to his injuries whilst being treated at one of the Casualty Clearing Stations.

The Buteman & West Coast Chronicle reported: Corporal Donald McLean [8380] 2nd Btn Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, of Rothesay, Isle of Bute officially notified as missing. Shortly after entering the fighting line in France he was promoted from Lance-Corporal to Corporal for an act of bravery in going to the assistance of Lieut. Stirling in the retirement from Le Cateau, and thereby saving the officer’s life. McLean performed the gallant act at considerable risk to himself. It is hoped that McLean, who has been 12 years in the army and took part in the South African war, is still unharmed and may have become separated for a time from his regiment. He was killed on the 21/10/1914, the day after his 34th birthday. He left his pregnant wife and 3 children.
