(d.26th September 1917)

William Morris was born in 1891 to William Samuel Morris and Elizabeth Birchall Morris (nee Booth}. His brother Harold George Morris was born in 1894 and served with 1st Bucks Battalion, Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry. Harold was killed on 19th August 1917.

The brothers were both killed at the 3rd Battle of Ypres, Passchaendale, and their names are remembered with honour on the Tyne Cot Memorial as their bodies were never found. They were my great uncles on my mothers side of the family. They are remembered with pride and sadness.
