Mr. Mortimer presented a port- rait of himself to be added to the gallery of K. C's who were educat- ed at the school.

"I had no intention of doing 20," Mr. Mortimer said, "but when I called at the India Office Lord Birkenhead insisted that it would be appreciated, and I cannot think he is capable of untruths." --

Lord Birkenhead paid a warm tribute to Mr. Mortimer. "I recall that I was not at the school when Mr. Mortimer attended it. He was, I think, four years senior to me at school. But I well remember his brother, who was a contem- porary of mine. He was a dis- tinguished athlete, and I knew him well because I was fond of Rugby football myself...
