John Welsford MacDonald, MC, BA, LLB, was born in July 1890 in Pictou, Nova Scotia. He was educated at the University of Toronto where he received his BA in 1911, and at Dalhousie University where he received his law degree in 1914. He had joined the Militia (78th Regiment) in 1909 and in the spring of 1915 he joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force, deploying overseas in October 1916. He went to France as a Captain in the 44th Battalion.
MacDonald was seriously wounded in August 1918 and was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for bravery and distinguished service. He also served in the 85th Battalion, the 193rd Battalion, and the 185th Battalion. After WWI, he returned to his law practice, and in 1920 he was elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Nova Scotia. In June 1939, MacDonald was appointed as County Court Judge for Pictou County.
