240418 Pte. Sidney Charles Morgan British Army 1st Btn. South Wales Borderers from:London (d.31st Oct 1914) Sidney Charles Morgan was killed during the Battle of Gheluvelt, which began at 6.00am on 31st of October 1914. As planned, the Germans opened a ferocious bombardment with their artillery and followed it with a massed infantry advance. The British defenders, the 1st South Wales Borderers gritted their teeth and repulsed this initial assault, but the Germans regrouped and, under the cover of the heaviest barrage of the battle thus far, attacked once more. The sheer weight of the attack was too much for the thin British line. It first cracked and then crumbled as the Germans poured through. The fighting was close ranged and desperate; many British units fought to the last man.
