Date of death: 23 November 1939 at the age of 26
Lost on HMS Rawalpindi, sunk in North Atlantic after engaging German battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau

Stornoway Gazette, 8 December 1939
In the House of Commons last week the Prime Minister paid tribute to the
naval reservists and pensioners of HM auxiliary cruiser "Rawalpindi"
whose heroic fight against two German pocket battleships has aroused the
admiration of the whole world.
"These men might have known as soon as they sighted the enemy that there
was no chance", said Mr Chamberlain. "But they had no thought of
surrender. They fired their guns until they could be fired no more, and
many of them went to their deaths thereby carrying on the great
tradition of the Royal Navy. Their example will be an inspiration to
those who come after them."
Twelve at least of these gallant men were fellow islanders of ours, and
the whole community shares the sorrow of their relatives at home, a
sorrow which may be lightened at times by the flickering hope that they
are still alive, although prisoners in the hands of the enemy, but
which which is more likely to be tormented by fears and doubts that are
more poignant than certainty.
There may be those in the crowded cities, lying under the terror of air
raids, who turn wistful eyes towards the peaceful islands of the west,
out of the danger zone, a sanctuary in the midst of the storm. But
while these islands may be relatively safe from direct attack, and
there is no need to carry gas masks to one's daily work, or dig air
raid shelters in the streets, they are contributing more towards the
defence of the Empire than most other communities of the same size.
In the "Courageous", the "Royal Oak", the "Northern Rover" and in other
losses the details of which are not known, men from these islands have
already forfeited their lives, and in many of the disasters which have
overtaken our merchant fleet. Lewis and Harris lads have conducted
themselves with tenacity and courage. There were three in the "Athenia",
ten in the "Lochavon" out of a total deck complement of sixteen and
one in the "Arlington Court", a modest youth from Calbost who is now
at home recuperating at home from the effects of six days' exposure in
an open boat.
No one would claim for these men least of themselves, that they are
struck from a finer die than the rest of humanity or moulded of a nobler
clay, but one can without any sense of boastfulness that when the
nation is at war, the small crofting and fishing communities of the
northern Scottish seaboard have a contribution to make to the fighting
forces which is out of all proportion to their population or their
wealth.
The name of "Rawalpindi" is in our minds today. In the past it was known
as that of the largest garrison town in the whole of India, "the key
to the British system of defence in the North-West Frontier", but now
the name has other associations for us and for the world. Let those who
today feel pride in the gallant heroes of the "Rawalpindi" remember,
when the strife is over and the wounds have healed, that many of those
who died in that desperate encounter were men from another North-West
frontier, which is seldom mentioned in the history books, but whose sons
have done more than most to man the garrisons of the Empire".

Murdo Mackenzie, 21 Swordale
Seaman MURDO MACKENZIE
Last address in Lewis: 21 Swordale
Son of Donald and Catherine Mackenzie, of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.
Service: Royal Naval Reserve
Service number: LT/X8100C
Date of death: 3 November 1939 at the age of 28
Lost on active service at North Shields
Interred: Tynemouth (Preston) Cemetery, Sec. F. Uncons. grave 11835
Local memorial: Point, Garrabost
Stornoway Gazette, 10 November 1939
It is with regret we record the death of Murdo Mackenzie, son of Donald Mackenzie, 21 Swordale, who was drowned last week, while on active service. Beyond the intimation of his death, no information has yet been received. Murdo, who was about 29 years of age, had been a reservist for more than five years. He was called up at the outbreak of war, but was given an extension on medical grounds, and left home only about a month ago for his war station. He was one of the reservists, mobilised in the crisis of September 1938, and was on service then for a period of three weeks. In civil life, Murdo was a bus driver, being employed for the past two and a half years with Mr Maciver, Swordale, who found him a very efficient and reliable servant. He was extraordinarily popular with the travelling public, because of his great cheerfulness and willingness. He never refused to do a good turn for anyone who approached him. Apart from the pasengers using his bus, he was known by many of the shopkeepers in town with whom he did business on behalf of others, and all of them speak of him in the highest terms. He was a member of the Point Football Committee, and one of the enthusiasts who did much for the development of the game in rural Lewis. He frequently travelled with the Point eleven for their fixtures in other parts of the island, so that he had acquaintances in every district, who join with his more immediate friends in Swordale and his family in lamenting his early death. Much sympathy is felt for his father his sole surviving brother, his stepmother and stepsisters in their bereavement. An older brother, Donald, died in America just about two years ago, while his surviving brother is at present on service as a naval reservist.
Transcriber's note: Other tributes were published in subsequent editions of the Gazette, in memory of "Murd".

Stornoway Gazette
13 October 1944
The death of Norman Mackenzie, 3 Portvoller, in Addington Hospital, Durban, on 1st September, as the result of injuries received on 27th August, is very much regretted, for he was well liked and respected. Many have cause to remember his generosity with gratitude. Norman was a good worker and his services were much sought after. He could turn his hand to any job. He was methodical and thorough and believed in finishing the job in hand and finishing it well. Quiet by nature, he disliked ostentation or fuss of any kind. He was possessed of a keen sense of duty and joined the Royal Naval Reserve shortly after the outbreak of war. Last year he was in hospital for six months recuperating from a bullet wound in his arm. To his widow, two daughters and widowed mother, sister and brother, the heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended.
27 October 1944
The war has brought about many sad partings. We, who not too long ago roamed the hills together in boyish innocence, are today scattered abroad, never to be united again. When the time comes to make peace, and men of many nations sit round the judgment table in many a home, tears will be shed over a vacant chair. They will not return but their spirit will live with us forever for they were the fairest men our country ever knew. Among them we will remember Norman Mackenzie, RNR, 3 Portvoller, whose death in Durban was recorded in a recent issue of the Gazette. We who knew Norman from childhood to manhood, found in him all the qualities we could desire in a true comrade. It could be said of him that he died holding the respect of all. Before he answered the call of duty, his home was at 61 Langlands Road, Glasgow, and although the pay packet was not as big then as it is today, his house was a home from home for many a Lewis boy. No matter what hour the doorbell rang, Norman was sure to open it with outstretched hand and smiling face. To his widow and three daughters, his aged widowed mother, his his sister and brothers, we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

This week we have the tragic news from Germany that one of our men will not return. Malcolm Mackenzie, 14 Aird (Calum a Ghoisdy) is reported to have died in a German camp on 11 September. Malcolm was taken prisoner at St Valery and now, when it looks as if the day is not far distant when the clouds of war will give way to the sunlight of victory and peace, it is sad to think that his hopes of freedom are not realised. We hope to give further details in a later issue.
9 March 1945
Some weeks ago we reported the death in a German prisoner camp of Pte Malcolm Mackenzie, 14 Aird.
Official information has now been received to the effect that he died a result of a gunshot wound. According to statements by fellow prisoners of war, who were eye-witnesses of the occurrence on 11th September 1944, an argument started between a group of prisoners engaged in sawing trees and a German guard. Private Mackenzie intervened in the argument and was shot by the guard after he had been accused of using his axe in a threatening manner. It is understood he died instantaneously.
Just the day before his death, Pte Mackenzie wrote a cheery letter home in which he said; "We are longing for the day to come when we are free to go home, if God spares us."
Rev Norman Maclean, British Chaplain in the camp, writes: "I buried Malcolm on Thursday last. His own comrades were bearers. One of our men blew the Last Post and Reveille. His own flag covered the casket and flowers were laid on the grave, which is in the town cemetery where his working party was. His comrades collected over £68, which has been sent to his mother, with expression of deep sympathy.
Malcolm was 41 years, and had 23 years' service with the Seaforth Highlanders. He was captured at St Valery.
The circumstances which led to his death were characteristic of his love of fair play. He always championed the weak. A prisoner who was repatriated said of him that he was the life and soul of the prison camp and popular with all the prisoners, always ready to help them, and especially the young boys, of whom there was a crowd in the camp. His love of justice cost him his life, and he died as he lived - a hero. In the early days in France, when they first found themselves under fire, regardless of personal danger, he advised and helped the younger boys, and his courage and cool head in face of danger were the means of helping them out of many a tight corner.
The heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended to his bereaved widow and invalid mother and to his sisters, brothers and all his other relatives.
