The graveyard at Boleskine near Foyers have the headstone and grave of civilian
MURDO MACLEOD (69 ) OF 35 GLENLEA, FOYERS , DIED at Aluminium Factory Foyers killed when the Foyers Aluminium factory was bombed by enemy machine on 13 February 1941 as he was staff in the factory.
I see that also there was an
ARCHIBALD MACDONALD (52) killed on that same attack at the Foyers Aluminium Factory that morning of the 13th February 1941 . This casualty is not shown on the cemetery index and the CWGC dont show the location of his grave for some reason. I note too that the commission dont show the grave location for Murdo MacLeod .
(I thought that there were only one casualty to this bombing on 13 Feb 1941 but its two dead )

CWGC have no interest in WW2 civilian graves and do not record them, they simply maintain a Roll of civilian casualties as provided by the Reporting Authority.
They have details of a MacDonald killed at Foyers that day but it appears you have the wrong christian name.
MACDONALD, ARCHIBALD
Rank: Civilian
Date of Death: 13/02/1941
Age: 52
Regiment/Service: Civilian War Dead
Reporting Authority INVERNESS COUNTY, SCOTLAND
Additional Information: Husband of Frances E. MacDonald, of 7 Elmbank Terrace, Foyers. Died at Aluminium Factory, Foyers.
