Sgt. Gordon "Red" MacDonald . Canadian Army Cape Breton Highlanders from Cape Breton My father Gordon MacDonald was the longest serving member of the WWII CBHs.
The only comedic story I can recall happened when he was a young recruit in N.S., standing on the dock with the other CBHs and the Sgt. told the men to "fall in" ... which they did, literally ... as only a CBH could do. Other than that and a hatred of spaghetti, he refused to talk about the Italian Campaign.
I do know he was missing and presumed dead for ten days because my mother, his then fiancee received a notice.
I want very much to learn more about his war time experiences and hope to contact others who served with him or knew of him. The fact that he had no middle name makes it difficult to distinguish him from others with the same name.

P/O Malcolm "Mac" MacDonald . Royal Canadian Air Force 500 Squadron from Saskatoon, Canada I was looking up some information about my Grandfather's service in WWII I thought I would share a few things about my Grandfather for anyone who is interested and to honour his service to his country & the allied forces in WWII. My Grandfather,Malcolm MacDonald flew bombers and reconnaissance planes for the RCAF from 1939 until 1945 and was fortunate enough to survive the war. He lived a long happy life, had 3 children and 5 grandchildren, and died a few years ago at the age of 92. I know at least for some time he was attached to the RAF’s 500 squadron. I know that he flew a Baltimore plane amongst many others and one plane, if I recall correctly, was called the A30A, which I believe was the fastest plane the allies had at the time. I won’t give details but I know he and his crew were at least in part responsible for sinking a 500 Ton U-Boat in the Mediterranean. I have a heard the story in detail many times. I don’t remember him ever talking about his experiences by choice but my Grandmother would often ask him to tell us Grandchildren his war stories. He had many amazing and interesting ones as you might imagine. He never seemed to be troubled by his experiences and when he talked about them he seemed undisturbed and humble. For example apparently at the end of the war he pulled his parachute out and it was full of holes after 7 years of war. He said he never thought about having to ditch a plane, he always figured he’d be able to save it. If anyone has questions feel free to ask. Remember to wear your poppies.
