Raymond Morris
British Army 1st Btn. Oxfordshire & Bucks Light Infantry
My uncle, Raymond Morris served with the 1st Battalion, Oxon & Bucks Light Infantry and was amongst the airborne troops who landed next to, captured and held what is now known as Pegasus Bridge. Attached is an article from BSA News (where he worked) June 1962 edition, describing his involvement in that action. Having visited the Pegasus Bridge Museum I was disappointed that I was unable to find his name amongst those recorded on the memorial stones there as this was supposed to be a complete list. I would welcome any feedback that may shed some light on this.
