Inter Club contest for News of the World medals, circa 1930s, also another silver medal, all cased (17) Note from the vendor: Dan Morrison was born in Ness on the Isle of Lewis. His Mother died when he was 9 years of age. He and his siblings were brought up by loving relatives. He managed to get a secondhand Box Brownie camera, so he started taking photos of life round about him in the 30's, 40's and 50's. He was smart lad so the headmaster at the local school wanted him to further his education. Dan told him he could not afford a suit so the headmaster bought him one. His Father meanwhile had gone to New Zealand to earn a living for the family, so between his Father sending money and the bursary that was available he finished his education in the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway. From there he went to Glasgow University and trained as a teacher. He taught in the city for a while and then war came. He was put into a London regiment which he found quite humourous. A Gaelic speaking Highlander in with Cockney lads, whom he regaled with tall tales! He moved to Oban High School in 1956 and there he stayed until he retired. He and his wife Agnes were married for 62 years and he had one daughter who lives in Canada. His book of photographs was published in 1997 and the local publishing company did a reprint last year. Dan was 98 when he passed away. He always dressed immaculately.
