257074 Edward Stanley "Taffy" Morgan British Army from:Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales Edward Morgan served with the British Army in WW2. Ted got in trouble one day with his mate, I don't remember why, but one was given KP and the other one latrine duty. They switched jobs and Dad (Ted) became a cook and ended up cooking for all the soldiers. He became famous amongst the men for 'inventing' the fried jam sandwich. He'd make a jam sandwich and then deep fry it and everyone loved it. He went ashore on Gold Beach. His friend Oliver was beside him. Dad sank instantly because he had full kit and was in over 6 feet of water. Oliver reached down, grabbed a strap and hauled him up. As they reached the beach Oliver was shot and killed. Dad felt awful about this ever after. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
