M.C. London Gazette 12 December 1919.

Archibald Fraser, of Clarkston Glasgow, enlisted in the Queen's Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry on 26 March 1913, serving in France with that unit from 1 September 1915 until commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry on 26 September 1916. Appointed Acting Captain in July 1917, he suffered gunshot wounds to the right arm and chest in May 1918 which, happily, he appears to have recovered from without undue complication.
Relinquishing his commission in September 1921, his MIC notes his father applying for his medals and a forwarding address at the Royal Exchange, Calcutta.
