L/Cpl. Peter McDonagh MM.
British Army 7th Btn. Cameronians
from:Bridge of Allan
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.
