1758 Sgt Griffith James Morgan Australian Imperial Force. C Company 37th Btn. from:Bright, Victoria, Australia (d.8th Jun 1917) An extract from a letterfrom a Major at base records to Grace Morgan (Griff's Mother) in 1922: “The only information received regarding your son’s burial is to the effect that he was buried in vicinity south-east of Messines between Bellheinm Farm and Septime Barn – 700 yards to the south, but no official advice of registration has come to hand, and I regret at this juncture it must be concluded that the grave Grave Service have not succeeded in locating his resting place. Failing the recovery and identification of his actual remains, it is the intention of authorities to perpetuate his memory by including his name regimental particulars, and date of death on a collective memorial.” Griff Morgan was a farmer from Ovens Vale, Victoria. He enlisted on the 25th of February 1916. He embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A34 Persic on the 3rd of June 1916, he was 40 years old.
