I believe Newburgh was put onto a care and maintenance basis shortly after this due to shortage of manpower caused by so many of the workforce either being in the TA and being called up or actually "rushing" to volunteer for the great adventure which would be "over by Christmas". The remaining personnel were transferred to Broomhill to bolster their workforce which had suffered similarly.
Alan Musket Morrison was also involved in the war as mentioned in other places on this site, he ended the war as a Major and continued to use the title. He lived at Togston Hall and was manager when nationalisation took place in 1947.
