World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Leonard Morgan
British Army 2nd Btn. Welsh Regiment
from:16 Railway Crescent, Cymmer, nr Port Talbot
My grandfather Leonard Morgan of the 2nd Welsh Regiment was taken prisoner at the Battle of Mons. His son was born after this and he was called Mons.
I never met him as he had died before I was born (1955). My eldest brother said he had a twitch which he remembered but, judging by the reports of Wittenberg POW camp it's probably just as well that he came out with just that and nothing else.

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.

My husband's father had a brother, William Morgan who died in WWI, as told to me by my mother-in-law many years ago. I was intrigued by this when I joined ancestry.com. I found evidence of him in the 1901 Irish census and have enjoyed researching him since. He is remembered in France at the Thiepval Memorial. I have been searching for a photo of him at various WWI websites. No one ever talked about him and most relatives are gone now. I would like for him to be remembered.

Other than this, I know nothing. We have no photograph of him, and I have searched the national newspaper archives for this but with no luck. If anyone knows anything about him please let me know. My great grandfather's first born son was named after him and my uncle's middle name comes from him.
