Biography

"Fallen in the Country's Cause. PRIVATE WM. MORGAN

News of the death on the Gallipoli battlefield of Pte Wm. Morgan, Euroa, reached his parents last week, and general sympathy was expressed by the residents of the town and district, to whom the toll taken by the war is now being brought closely home. While this is the first fatality in the Morgan family, it is not the first casualty, a brother, Pte Archie Morgan, being wounded in the early fighting and is now on his way home." - from the Euroa Advertiser 10 Sep 1915 (nla.gov.au)
