Stornoway Gazette, 27 March 1942
Many friends will learn with regret that Norman Morrison, 22 year old son of Mr and Mrs Angus Morrison, Burnside Cottage, Benside, has been accidentally drowned while on his way to join his ship in an English port. Norman had been in the Merchant Navy for the last 2 years, and in that time had travelled widely. Before he went to sea, he worked in Macdonald's Mill. A quiet, pleasant lad, he was very popular with his contemporaries. His twin brother, Peter John Morrison, is in the Army, and two other brothers, Donald and John Angus, are at home. An older sister, Catherine, works in a canteen and the youngest sister Mabel is at home, and attending school.
