Everyone at The Oban Times is proud that so many families still have First World War newspaper cuttings to this day.
Often the newspaper printed off extra copies of the proofs of the stories to give to family members.
When a tailor employed by Chalmers of Oban, James Yuill Turnbull, serving with 3rd Lanark Volunteer Battalion of the Cameronians was posthumously awarded the VC for his actions in securing a machine gun post on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, on July 1, 1916, Authuille, France, copies of the report were also printed on card for distribution.
