He also brought back two wounded men under heavy fire. Mackintosh had been trying to bring Sutherland, who had lost a number of limbs, back to the trenches. Sutherland died of his wounds and had to be left; he has no known burial place, but is commemorated on the Arras Memorial. Sutherland was a Scot, but many of Mackintosh's other charges were from New Zealand.

Mackintosh was killed in action on the second day of the Battle of Cambrai, 21 November , whilst with the 4th Seaforth Highlanders. He was there observing the heavy action [3] near the village of Cantaing. His poetry has been said to have been as good as the more famous war poet Rupert Brooke.

The memorial was paid for by Scottish Americans to commemorate the bravery of the Scottish soldiers of the Great War. A small ceremony took place in France on the 90th anniversary of Mackintosh's death and there were plans to dedicate a chapel to him and his regiment.
