Island story

Henry MacDonald is commemorated at Church Cemetery memorial C-001. The raw PIHS field photograph 1000011279.jpg records 27 October 1923–1 June 1988 and is inscribed “their son.” The 1931 census records a seven-year-old Henry in the Pictou Island household of Archibald T. “Archie” MacDonald and Charlotte MacLean. Together, the name, age and family context strongly support his identification as their son. Kenneth MacCallum’s printed p.60 also records “Henry MacDonald — C.C.A.A.” among the Island’s Second World War honour-roll entries. PIHS has not yet established what C.C.A.A. means, so the abbreviation is retained without expansion while the official service file is sought.
