McDONALD, COLIN MALCOLM (1899-1982)

West Australian born Colin McDonald began his career with The West Australian newspaper after World War 1 and worked at Fremantle. He left Western Australia as a young man and joined newspapers in Malaya and Hong Kong before going to China to represent The London Times and Reuters newspapers.

McDonald married Miss Phyllis Margaret Allum in London in December 1936. Miss Allum had left Perth in 1922 to continue her musical studies at the Royal College of Music, London. The marriage was dissolved in 1954.

McDonald covered the Second Sino-Japanese war and earned an expeditionary medal from the United States Navy for his presence of mind during the USS Panay incident on the Yangtse River in 1937.

After the start of World War 11, McDonald was sent to Washington by the British Foreign Office, as an advisor on China to the United States Government. When the war ended, he returned to The Times in London and eventually to Perth.

In his later years he contributed a number of articles on Asia to The West Australian newspaper.
