27 August 1943
It is with deep regret that we hear of the abandonment of further hope for the safety of Murdoch Nicolson, 46 Seaforth Road, Stornoway, who was reported missing some weeks ago. He was Chief Petty Officer Instructor of the Sea Cadet Corps in which he had served for 17 years and to which he looked forward to returning. Although Grade III, he volunteered for service afloat on finding that it was possible to be accepted for the Merchant Navy. Of sterling character and considerable ability, his death has come as a great shock to all his old comrades of the Corps, as well as to the very large circle of friends throughout the island, and the utmost sympathy is felt for his widow and two little girls - both at present happily too young to understand the great loss they have sustained.
