"VC war hero's legacy"

"A BOOK on the life story of a First World War hero born near Cawdor - who won the Victoria Cross after he knocked out a German machine gun post in the trenches of France - is going to help refurbish the British Legion hall in Nairn."
More from this article by Donald Wilson on the Highland News site.

Here's a picture of David Shillabeer of Nairn British Legion holding a copy of the book about the Cawdor-born VC winner in front of a display dedicated to John MacGregor VC. Picture from Murray MacRae.

UPDATE: the Gurn has been informed that a web site has been created by Iain Fairweather to honour the memory of John MacGregor VC, MC and Bar, DCM
