Biography contributed by Robert Kearney
MacKnight's second name is in fact spelt Crawfurd not Crawford. The use of Crawford is an ongoing curruption through out his service record and other documents. On page 53 of his service record in his 'Application for a Commission' which has been completed by MacKnight himself and clearly details his second name as 'Crawfurd'. His younger brother Dr William Crawfurd MacKnight (1865-1945) also has the same second name. The name is drawn from their paternal grandmother's family - Courtesy of Michael Silver
