Donald George Francis MacGregor died from illness two days after his father and the pair share a grave in Wing churchyard. Donald was born in Wing on 10 May 1896. He was a farm worker and as soon as he turned 19 he tried to enlist in the Army Service Corps but was rejected owing to poor eyesight and deafness. Instead, he joined the Rutland Volunteers, a sort of Home Guard of its day, but was called up for re-examination in July 1917. The bar had been lowered due to the manpower shortage and he passed B2, defined as being "able to walk five miles, see and hear sufficiently for ordinary purposes." Donald was sent to Catterick and Scotland with the West Yorkshire Regiment, attached to the Kings Own Scottish Borderers, before finally being transferred to the 511th Company Agricultural Labour Corps. He contracted septic gastritis from which he died on 3 January 1919. He was 22. His father John had died two days previously, a vitim of the great 'flu epidemic at the time. The MacGregors' grave can be seen clearly, close to the front of the chuchyard and visible from the road, and is maintained to this day by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
