Add my storyBiography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
He was 36 and the son of Roderick and Mary Macaulay, of 7, Crossbost Lochs, Stornoway, Scotland.
He is one of two Australian casualties of the Great War commemorated on the Lochs District War Memorial. The Lochs District is on the Isle of Lewis.
There are four parishes: Barvas (Barabhas), Lochs (Na Lochan), Stornoway (Steòrnabhagh), and Uig on which the original civil registration districts were based. The district of Carloway (after the village of that name) which hitherto had fallen partly within the parishes of Lochs and Uig, became a separate civil registration district in 1859.
The districts of Lewis are Ness (Nis), Carloway (Càrlabhagh), Back, Lochs (Na Lochan), Park (A' Phàirc), Point (An Rubha), Stornoway, and Uig. These designations are traditional and in use by the entire population.
For civil registration purposes Lochs (Na Lochan) is nowadays split into North Lochs (Na Lochan a Tuath) and South Lochs (Na Lochan a Deas).
