24.11.1942			commissioned, Royal Army Veterinary Corps [emergency commission]
(06.1944)			attached as Brigade Veterinary Officer, HQ 23rd British Infantry Brigade

* As Brigade Veterinary Officer he has displayed a ceaseless and untiring devotion to duty throughout the difficult period of converting to Animal Transport a formation previously mechanised. His determination and enthusiasm have been an inspiration to all, and the very high standard of animal management prevailing throughout the Brigade, and which now enables the Columns successfully to operate in an almost trackless mountainous country, is due no less to his unfailing cheerfulness than to his exceptionally skillful guidance of personnel who, a few months ago, had little or no experience of animals.
Recommended 04.06.1944 by Brig. L.E.C.M. Perowne, Commader 23rd British Infantry Brigade, approved 15.09.1944 by Maj.Gen. W.D.A. Lentaigne, commanding Special Force, and 06.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. O.W.H. Leese, Commander-in-Chief Allied Land Forces South East Asia. [Recommendation courtesy of Mr Vincent Billiet]

His son writes: "He volunteered and was accepted for the Airborne Regiment from the Cameron Highlanders prior to the Second World War. My information is very limited as to whether it was the First or the Sixth Regiment, but I know he served in India and Palestine prior to war's outbreak. He was involved with his regiment as rear guard duties during the Dunkirk evacuation and he was involve in the Italian campaign where his forward observation post was over-run and he was captured near Ortona. He was interred as an officer at several Prisoner of War Stalags and repatriated in late 1945, early 1946."

			Believed captured whilst serving in Royal Engineers as Major possibly at Dunkirk in May 1940. Original POW camp not known but in May 1941 he was transferred to Stalag XXA (301) at Friesack, Brandenberg where he served as Senior British Officer before being sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. In April 1945 he became one of the Prominente hostages who were shipped from Dachau to Niederhof in the Italian Tyrol where he was liberated by US Forces on the 4th May. He then returned to his old job as manager of the Theatre Royal in Dublin . As a result of the treatment he received whilst a POW he died in Dublin in 1946. During his stay at Friesack the Germans had tried to persuade him to Lead an ‘Irish Brigade’ comprising Irishborn POWs who had been captured whilst serving in the British Armed Forces. However he and his fellow prisoners resisted the German’s attempts to coerce them which caused McGrath and several others to be interned at Sachsenhausen for the duration.
