Donald McPherson was born as the son of John Jackson McPherson and Hannah Selina McPherson. He was one of 6 children, three girls and three boys. After his education he attended the Penrith 'Boys' National School and the Grammar School. After his education he went to work as a draftsman at Cowans Sheldons Engineering Co. in Carlisle. Donald volunteered for the British army to fight for his country.

The death of their son was very heavy for the family. After the family had received a telegram that their son Donald was wounded severely and was on a danger list, they received a second telegram a day later. This telegram unveiled the sad news that their son died of his wounds on 3 March 1945. The last telegram reached the family five days after his death. The pain of the inability to see their son or to visit his grave untill after the war struck the family very hard.
