Gnr. William Morgan MM and bar
British Army 119th Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Aberaman, Wales
My grandfather was born in Wales in 1890. William Morgan served with the 119th Brigade Royal Field Artillery in WW1 and was awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the Dardanelles, Gallipoli in 1915. We are told it was for saving the life of an officer.
In August 1918 he was awarded a bar whilst serving in France.
He was married to Flossie and had three children, William Gordon, David John (known as Jack) and Joan.
He was gassed during the war and this led to his early death in 1941 at the age of 51.
