Willie Fraser


From Moriston Matters, Issue 3, October 1977.

We are sorry to record the death of Willie Fraser, Darroch View, on August 19th after a short illness, although he had spent a period in hospital earlier in the year.

He was born in the Glen at Ceannacroc and served in the first World War in the Army Transport Corps. Later he spent a number of years in the Middle East, eight of them in Haifa, and four in Persia driving mail across the desert. When he returned to the Glen he joined the Forestry Commission and worked with them for twenty-one years.

His familiar figure taking home the messages in his shoulder bag will be missed from the village, and much sympathy is extended to his sister.
