Hi,

thank you so much everyone for replying and helping me. The Armed Forces is something I have no knowledge of at all.

I will purchase his medical card, and see what information it gives.

Do any of you have any idea what the Military Cross would have been given for?

[gortonboy]

2nd Lt. Harold McLennan, R.G.A., Spec.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty in rescuing wounded under conditions
•of exceptional danger. At a time when his
-battery was under heavy shell fire and all
had been ordered to cover, he called for three
volunteers, and led them along a mile of
.road three times under -an intense shell fire
• to bring in wounded men who had been left
t/here. He had already displayed great
• courage, initiative and utter disregard of
personal safety whilst attending to the
wounded under fire early on the same day,
.-and his splendid example was beyond all
praise.

Hi,

Bilge, I haven't found any records of him with a middle name. Thanks for replying.

Gortonboy, yes, this was his school. I have contacted the school, and they were very helpful. Providing me with some of his school achievements. Although, most are abbreviated, and hard to decipher. 

Thank you,
