Henry Vollam Morton
Henry Canova Vollam Morton (known as H. V. Morton), (26 July 1892 – 18 June 1979) was a journalist and pioneering travel writer from Lancashire, England. He was best known for his prolific and popular books on London, Great Britain and the Holy Land. He first achieved fame in 1923 when, while working for the ''Daily Express'', he scooped the official ''Times'' correspondent during the coverage of the opening of the Tomb of Tutankhamun by Howard Carter in Egypt.
==Life==
Morton was born at Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, the son of Joseph Morton, editor of the ''Birmingham Mail'', and Margaret Maclean Ewart. He was educated at King Edward's School in Birmingham but left at the age of 16 to pursue a career in journalism. In the late 1940s he emigrated to South Africa, settling near Cape Town in Somerset West, and became a South African citizen. He married Dorothy Vaughton (born 1887) on 14 September 1915. They divorced, and on 4 January 1934, he married Violet Mary Muskett (née Greig, born 1900). She survived him.
