L/Cpl. Peter McDonagh MM. 7th Btn. Cameronians Like many other old soldiers my father Peter McDonagh never talked about the war, it would be nice to hear the stories of others who were there.
I only know that he was a stretcher bearer at Walcheren and he and his fellow medics rescued many wounded under heavy machine gun fire and mortar bombs, his closest mate died in the action, Cpl Mullen was his name I believe. Not a lot more information except to say that I have all the paperwork on the MM award including photograghs and the citation.

Sadly Charles was killed in battle in Holland on 19th January 1945. My father (now 89 years old) has fond memories of him and a photograph taken shortly before he fell. He would like, if possible, to pass on the photograph and a copy of a book which he has written to a relative of Charles. We know that he came from Preston and was married to Mary Alice.
