Pretty sure it's McKerrarcher.
As buried in Scotland they will have died in the UK or on their way back here for treatment. So if there's no d.c. for a death in Scotland then they likely died in England where a d.c. would have been issued.

Can't help with the first but the death of a Hugh McDermid aged 19 was registered at Thanet, Kent in the July to September Quarter 1918. The death of a Donald McKerracher (note spelling) aged 36 was registered at Richmond, Yorkshire in the April to June Quarter 1918. From FreeBMD
