Add my storyBiography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
18th Bn., Australian Infantry, A.I.F.
He was 35 and the son of Mr. P. McDonald, of Stonefield, Rossport, Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland.
He is one of 16 Australian soldier casualties of the Great War who are honoured on the Mayo Great War Memorial in Mayo Peace Park, Garden of Remembrance, Lannagh Road, Castlebar, County Mayo.
Usually the name appears because the casualty was born in the area or his parents lived there but sometimes the association rests with the fact that the casualty was educated in the district.
