Pte. Ernest Charles Morby MM.
British Army 10th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Heath, Yorkshire
The following is a transcript of a cutting from a newspaper regarding my great grandfather, that I have pasted to a postcard, the medal is in my possession.
"Heath Soldier Awarded The Military Medal: Pte. Ernest Morby, of the 10th Lincs Regiment (son of Mr and Mrs J. Morby, Elm Cottages, Heath), has been awarded the military medal "for some work I did on the night of July 1st," as he modestly puts in a letter to his parents. Pte Morby was an apprentice with Mr Marshal, Howard Street; organ builder. He was only 17 years of age when he enlisted in October 1914 and attained his 19th birthday last May. He was the first Wakefield lad to join the Grimsby Pals, afterwards the 10th Lincs".
