From Armed Forces memorial database

Age: 22
Date of Death: 23 July 1955
Cemetery : Maala Christian Cemetery, Aden
Grave: I.88
Included on Armed Forces Memorial: Yes

Private MacInnes is not listed in the SNWM database so I'm assuming his death was accidental.

From Britain's Small Wars Website

http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Aden/units.html

Seaforth Highlanders

Seaforths, with attached 2Fd Amb, Troop of cavalry ferrets and other support flown from canal Zone to relieve RAF Regiment in up country fort besieged by insurgents. After successful relief they served for another 6 months up country till relieved. I believe this was the start of the insurgency but has not been included in the date parameters for some reason. No clasp awarded for this action despite deaths and wounded. Thanks to Cyril Allen for this entry.
The Seaforths were the first troops into Aden in July 1955, from the Canal Zone.
