Thank you for posting information about our great-uncle, Saddler Philip McLeod. He was my grandmother's brother and she often remembered him with great affection.

I still have handwritten letters from him relating their wait for horses and other pre-battle notes as well as photos of him in uniform.

We should never forget those who at the call of their country answered. Thank you for honoring them with this site.
