But those, like myself, who had been in the same ship with him (and he was my flag lieutenant for a period) know that the Navy has suffered a really grievous loss. In all sincerity I believe that we officers and men of H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth that in him we had the most exceptional young officer of his time. Personally I have never known a better. Added to a most attractive appearance and manner, he had all the solid qualities of character that are most admired in our Service. Humour, gaiety, vivid and radiant there was, continually breaking through a strict sense of duty, while a quiet manner of authority yet sympathy - very rare in an officer of his age - evoke little short of devotion in the men under him. He was outstanding in all forms of sport, but chiefly as a long distance runner. It is very hard to lose Rory Macdonald. ....’ On a Memorial to Major Donald Ramsay Macdonald, D.S.O., M.C., R.F.A., and his two sons, the inscription for Lieutenant Roderick William Macdonald, Royal Navy, reads - ‘who was missing from H.M.S. Courageous west of Alexandria on 15th February 1937, aged 24’.
