The Morris Brothers of Hayfield Road Oxford
Title in English
The story of the Morris brothers
My uncle, Arthur Morris, was called up in 1918 and joined the 2nd Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment. He was sickly and had to be sent home because he had his appendix out, but was then sent back. He was killed on 25th April 1918 and is buried at Crouy British Cemetery at Crouy-sur-Somme.
He had two brothers who survived the war, Charles and Frank, who served in the Queen's Own Oxford Hussars (Horse Company). Frank saved a comrade who visited him every year afterwards.
All the postcards, letters and documents were kept by my aunt Elsie and left to me.
