| Notes |
- Major Hector Munro of Coul served in Mackay's Regiment in Germany. He was wounded at Oldenberg in 1627 and was involved in the Engagement of 1648 and the Worcester campaign.
At Oldenberg in 1627, after being wounded in the foot, Hector was ordered to go to the rear for treatment. He replied that "it was not time, till he had emptied his Bandaliers against his enemies." Before he had accomplished his object, he was shot in the other foot. He had to be assisted to the rear by some of his comrades, but he would not permit them to retire too far with him, for fear that it damage their military reputations. (Mackenzie p. 212)
His wife was Isobell Ross, daughter of Andrew Ross of Belintore.
