    Wondering if anyone can help with information on 1/7th Bn Middlesex Regiment in October 1944 and Roderick MacPherson who is a former pupil of Perth Academy.

    170464, Capt Roderick George Macpherson
    1/7th Bn Middlesex Regiment
    Son of Mrs Macpherson, Dron Schoolhouse, Bridge of Earn, Perthshire
    Husband of Molly Macpherson, Johannesburg.
    Died on 29th October 1944
    Buried in Bergenop-Zoom War Cemetery, Netherlands.

    Probably died during Operation Infatuate, but that's all I seem to be able to find out apart from this brief newspaper report.

    Perthshire Advertiser, 8th November 1944
    Deaths - On Active Service

    MACPHERSON - Killed on active service in Holland during October, Captain R. G. MacPherson, dearly beloved younger son of Mrs MacPherson, Dron Schoolhouse, Bridge of Earn and husband of Molly MacPherson, Jo'burg.

    Many thanks,
    Dave
