James Moran enlisted in 1917 aged 39, a lithographer from East Sydney with six children. He relates how the hill at the Australian Army Camp, Codford in Salisbury Plains displayed an Australian Rising Sun, detailed with white stones. It is still visible today. Apparently, it was called Misery Hill, as troops ran up it each morning for physical exercise. Private Moran served in 36th Battalion at the action in Hangard Wood and the capture of Villers-Bretonneux (First Battle), then was transferred to 33rd Battalion to make up numbers there on 30th April 1918. 33rd Battalion crossed the Somme and attacked German positions at Morlancourt where he was killed in action on 6 May 1918, aged forty.
Pte. James Moran
British Army King's Regiment (Liverpool)
from:Crosby, Liverpool
(d.16th August 1916)
I have been researching my family tree and only found out yesterday that my great uncle, James Moran, was killed at the Somme on 16th August 1916. He was 18 years of age.
I haven't any photos yet but, hopefully, in time will find some and other information as to whether he received any medals and such. I am trying to find Thomas Moran his brother. There is a Thomas Moran in the same regiment who was killed at Arras but I can't find any personal information on him to link him with James, such as address and mother's name.
James' father, my great grandfather, was also killed in January 1916 aged 49. They are not commemorated at a memorial in Crosby so once I have found out about Thomas and whether this is our Thomas, then the Mayors office will add their names to the memorial in Crosby in time for the 100th anniversary in November. Wish me luck!
Pte. James Moran
British Army 13th Battalion Kings Liverpool Regiment
from:Crosby
(d.16th August 1916)
Sgt. John Michael Moran
British Army 13th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:56 North Kent Street, Collyhurst, Manchester
My Great Grandfather John Michael Moran was an unsung hero to his sons John and William, and daughters Lilly and Sadie. Whilst on a fact-finding holiday to Ypres and the Somme my research into the Manchester Library online Roll of Honour revealed a man who first served his country in 1900 in the second Boer War as a KRRC Rifleman and then in WWI an instrumental part of Kitchener's new army as Lance Corporal then Sergeant. He served with 13th Battalion in the 111th Brigade, 37th Infantry Division. A quiet well groomed white haired man, he never spoke of his brave deeds despite twice returning to serve his country. Not even a Marker at the family grave as he had survived both wars. A new monument remembering this survivor of the so called "Great War" was erected in June 2014 by my Father Anthony Moran and myself to remember his bravery. Decorated with British Victory and Star Medals from 1915-18 he finally left the Theatre of war of France through illness receiving a silver medal in 1918.
Only one photo of him survives thanks to my Dad who retrieved the biscuit tin of photos from the bin following my Grandfather's death in 1991. We are still researching the battalion's movements but are proud to find the truth and honour his courage to return to a terrifying inferno. We honour his memory.

Later the family moved to Melrose in Winchester Street, Botley and he was listed as a motor driver in 1911 at Hall Yard, Fair Oak.

The British Forces landed at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25th April 1915.

He is remembered at the Helles Memorial at Gallipoli, Turkey.
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".

My uncle Thomas Mordle served with the 11th Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment and was acting as a runner to Brigade HQ. He was more than likely wounded by gunfire or a German sniper. He died of his wounds at the Military aid station at Poperinge Flanders Belgium in August 1917, and is buried at Dozinghem Military Cemetery.. He left a widow and two young sons aged three and five. His widow remarried in 1920.
Pte Thomas Mordle
British Army 11th Btn. Royal Sussex Regiment
from:Midhurst, Sussex
(d.6th Aug 1917)
Not a lot is known, except that Uncle Thomas Mordle had been detached to 112th Infantry Brigade HQ as a runner. He was either wounded by shellfire or by a German sniper whilst going about his duty. Most likely he was taken to Dozinghem Field Hospital where he died of wounds on 4th of August 1917, and was buried at Dozinghem War Cemetery,at Poperinge West Vlandren (Flanders). He left a wife and two young sons back in Midhurst, Sussex. She went on to remarry in 1919 to Leonard William Lewis. He was the stepson of her sister who had married his father in 1908. They went on to adopt a girl in 1927/28 who had been born illegitimate to one of Leonard's sisters.
Even though no one ever knew Thomas, he is not forgotten.
