sorry I can't shed any light on your McLeods but just wanted to sympathise as I'm trying to look for a Flora McLeod from that part of the world who married a Murdoch McKenzie. With those two names I'm getting into a real nice tangle. Hope you have success in tracking them down.

There is the following Mudo MacLeod born Feb 1875 from Ross Co Parish of Lochs who signed up in WW1.  Do you think he might be yours?

In regards to the attestation papers, wish it was him but his Mother's name wasn't Christine... thanks anyway...
