Trooper Angus McDonald of Ayrshire Yeomanry is on Cumnock War Memorial.
He died in the 15th General Hospital in Alexandria Egypt.

Ancestry offers this information.
He died of dysentery as reported in the Cumnock Chronicle Roll of Honour.
There is an Angus Mcdonald in Cumnock in the 1911 census. He is single 31 and born in Fort Augustus. He is a general labourer working in the iron works. He is lodging with William and Marion Hodge in Barrhill Road. I can't find a corresponding record for earlier censuses. No Angus McDonald got married in Ayrshire between 1911 and 1915. And no soldier's will.
A new record on ancestry is soldier's effects. This gives his father as Hugh and a brother Donald but I still can't find them in the censuses.
