And another one, Morpeth Herald, 22 May 1936:

"Ex Armourer Staff Sergeant John Cunningham, of Amble, the only northern winner of the coveted King's Prize at Bisley, which he had the distinction of winning in 1921 when 62 years of age, has celebrated his 77th birthday. The number of trophies and medals he has won extends well into three figures. Five years ago he handed over his extensive collection of guerdons and his full dress tunic bearing the corresponding badges to the 5th Battalion the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers (TA), with which he served from 1897 to 1909, this being followed by the presentation of the rifle with which he won the King's Prize. Mr Cunningham is still a keen shot, holding his own with many much younger competitors."
I wonder where all that is now?
