Major Donald Munro MC (1880-1932). He had been stationed at Fort George from 1921 until his death of pneumonia on 8 December 1932. His medals are the Military Cross (1915), Queen's South Africa Medal (1900), King's South Africa Medal (1902), the 1914 Star, British War Medal and Allied Victory Medal. A native of the Ardross district, the deceased came to Dingwall early in his youth and for a time served on the clerical staff of the late Mr William Paterson, corn and coal merchant, Dingwall. From there, he enlisted in The Seaforth Highlanders at Fort George on 8 February 1898 and he served with his regiment for exactly one month short of 34 years. Major Munro had a very distinguished military career, starting as private, rising through all the grades, was commissioned on the field of war and in December 1929, he received his majority. Enlisting at Fort George on 8 February 1898, he was posted to and joined the 2nd Battalion at Dover two days later. He served with the 2nd Battalion through the South African War, being present at the action at Whittebergen. He also took part in the guerrilla warfare towards the close of hostilities in the Transvaal and Cape Colony. He received the Queen's Medal with three clasps and the King's Medal, with two clasps. From South Africa he went to Ireland. Appointed Lance Corporal in 1899, he was promoted Corporal in August 1903 and Sergeant in 1907. Whilst serving with the 2nd Battalion he was promoted Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant just prior to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. He proceeded with the 2nd Battalion to France in 1914 and obtained a regular commission as Lieutenant on 1 October1915. He was appointed Lieutenant and Quartermaster and was promoted to Captain and Quartermaster on 1 October 1917, receiving his majority on 1 October 1929. For his services in the War, he received the Military Cross, as well as the 1914 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. He came home from France in February 1919 and in November of that year he was in India with the battalion. In December 1921, he was posted from the 2nd Battalion at Meerut, India, to the Depot, Fort George. As private, NCO, and officer, Major Munro was ever popular in his regiment, his chubby, round, smiling face being a source of happiness to his companions, to the men under him and to his fellow officers. He was recognised for his ability as a statistician, his integrity and perfect fairness, his courtesy and willingness to serve others, and above all his love of his regiment, the history and traditions of which he knew, chapter and verse. His funeral took place from Fort George to Ardersier Cemetery with Military and Masonic honours. The gathering of mourners was large and was representative of the military life of the Highlands. The numerous, beautiful wreaths bore ample testimony to the respect and popularity in which the late officer was held. A short service at the house was followed by an impressive service in the Garrison Church, conducted by the Rev. William Graham, Ardersier, who also officiated at the service at the graveside. — Taken from his Obituary in The Ross-shire Journal
