Lloyd MacDonald was the son of William R. MacDonald (b. circa 1895) and Ruth Macdonald (b. circa
1894) of Trenton, Pictou Co., NS. He was the brother of Gerald MacDonald (b. circa 1924) and
Marjorie MacDonald (b. circa 1922).
Lloyd completed basic training in Course 3 at No. 61 Canadian Infantry Basic Training Centre in New
Glasgow, NS, on February 8, 1941, and was recalled on March 12, 1942. He also trained at the A5
Canadian Engineering Training Centre at Petawawa.
He served in Canada until March 10, 1943; and in England between March 11, and September 22,
1944. He continued his training in the UK and qualified as a plumber and a welder, but transferred to
the Black Watch of Canada on September 29, 1944, having crossed the English Channel to North West
Europe.
He died of wounds received in action on October 8,
1944, while serving in Belgium.
He was initially interred in a garden near Boterberg
Chateau (Kasteel Boterberg) north of Cappellen
