Me!!!!

Most of the questions were answered on the last post in September 

Pleased to meet you and yes but I had forgotten I had posted that on here and didnt remember what it said.  ;

I have just re-read the other thread and see we had conversed before.

I have short term memory loss [ seriously] and didnt remember the great responses I had,had previously,so thanks once again

Sadly I am no further on in finding anything more about Mr.Morris.I know this can take years sometimes though,so I am not put off ,and will update if I ever find anything more out.

Have you any idea as to whom in the pic is your relly??

Yes as per

Thanks for replying Pete.

On the original photo he is left [as we look at the screen] of the chap in uniform that I did a close up of.I did read about the ACC not starting up till after the photo was taken, but I had already asked by then ,sorry.

He didnt die in the war.

The only other info I have is that he was born 1891 and lived in Hulme,Manchester before the Army.

He's ome of the site's living reference books, armed with an inexhaustible knowledge and unbelievable eyesight. He'll be along at somepoint, I think it was he that identified the photo's as a TA unit, need to re-read the other post again.

I think you could use the info so far and look for either service history or medal records for his name, using the RAMC or RAMC(TA) as a start point.

Tabbitha,

By rights, if he was from the Manchester area, he would probably have been with East Lancs Field Ambulance.

I had a quick look last night through the John and Jack Morris RAMC medal index cards. Unless there is a 1917 six digit service number on the MIC, it is virtually impossible to pick anyone out.

I did find one possible, but he was with West Lancs FA post-1917:

Jack Morris, Private 1427 and 341106 RAMC.

Yes indeed Phil,hence why the task has been so hard with such little info.

If only they put dates of birth on the service records it would go part way to helping.

However atm, I am going through each record I can find thats a 'possible' .Eventually I will collate and everything and try find the right one.

You have all been so kind with your ideas & suggestions and at least I have a better knowledge of what to actually aim for other than just a name.
