Captain Douglas Urquhart McGregor was a Canadian World War I flying ace credited with 12 official aerial victories.
The younger McGregor attended McGill University and played on their Redmen football team during the early years of World War I.
The following day, he again teamed with William Kennedy-Cochran-Patrick to set another German recon machine afire over Houthoulst Forest; five minutes later, he burned another one on his own.
[5] The accompanying award citation gives insight into McGregor's exploits: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in leading patrols against hostile formations.
He has attacked and driven down enemy aircraft on several occasions, in spite of their being in superior numbers, displaying in every instance splendid dash and determination to get to close range.
