Sergeant McKay was platoon sergeant of 4 Platoon, B Company, which after the initial objective had been secured, was ordered to clear the northern side of the long east/west ridge feature, held by the enemy in depth, with strong mutually supporting positions.
Taking Sergeant McKay, a corporal and a few others, and covered by supporting machine-gun fire, the platoon commander moved forward to reconnoiter the enemy positions but was hit by a bullet in the leg, and command devolved upon Sergeant McKay.
Sergeant McKay, however, was killed at the moment of victory, his body falling on the bunker.

 Greenberg:Barbara McKay
McKay and Greenberg began their correspondence in 1980 when he was 70 and she was 39.
McKay is still very much alive doing what she has always done ­ and as Greenberg urged her to keep on doing ­ painting pictures.
It was not a voluminous correspondence ­ McKay wouldn't impose, and Greenberg was a busy man ­ just fifteen letters in seven years, but it records a growing intimacy and affection between Greenberg and McKay (and her family) and his increasing admiration for her work.

 For a Working-Class Culture in Canada: A Selection of Colin McKay’s Writings on Sociology and Political Economy, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Ian McKay is a history professor at Queen’s University in Ontario who, with the help of Lewis Jackson, has already published a book on Colin McKay’s sea stories.
McKay is not classifiable as either a democratic or a revolutionary socialist, and his Marxism was always mixed up with a great deal of Christian idealism, Spencerian sociology, and even occasional support (such as during the First World War) for the British Empire.
As Ian McKay demonstrates, the fact that Colin McKay’s writings have mostly been forgotten is a major set-back, since much of his analysis is currently being reproduced by more recent observers.

 For a Working-Class Culture in Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Colin McKay `must be the only person on the planet who analyzed both ``The Artificial Propagation of Fish and Lobsters'' and the supposed pitfalls of Kantian dualism,' suggests Ian McKay in this collection of the writings of an important, yet almost forgotten, journalist and labour activist.
He was a working-class intellectual; an `autodidact.' Ian McKay notes the air of superiority with which academically trained intellectuals have dismissed this tradition, but there are years of wide reading, sharp debate, and thoughtful reflection in these articles.
For Ian McKay, the parallels with Antonio Gramsci's struggle to understand and challenge bourgeois hegemony are apparent, although Colin McKay's understanding of the task was not easily translated into action.

 New Socialist Group: Book Review: Thinking about Left history
As Ian McKay argues in his engaging and thought-provoking Rebels, Reds, Radicals, leftists are by definition “non-contemporaneous.” They are profoundly aware of living within history, struggling to understand the patterns and lessons of the past, and hoping to use this knowledge to guide its future course.
McKay is particularly keen on focusing on Quebec as key to this formation.
McKay judges the effectiveness of these formations on their ability to act as a counterhegemonic force to the existing liberal order, to have their ideas, assumptions and hopes shared beyond their own, relatively small, numbers.

 MetroActive Music | Simon Says (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Simon Says is "straightedge." Out on the fringes of the hardcore music scene, straightedge has been an athletic alternative to alternative rock since ever Ian McKay, with his seminal '80s band Minor Threat, launched a short spurt of clean-and-sober punk bands.
The influence of McKay, better known as the vocalist/founder of the poetic hardcore group Fugazi, is only indirectly represented in today's straightedge bands, most of which fall into the Christian Contemporary category (where cleanliness is a byproduct of godliness) or secular bands that just happen to be militant crusaders against drugs and alcohol.
Simon Says, says Diebels, stands outside of both categories, edging closer to McKay's brand of straightedge than their modern-day musical cousins.
