(Auckland Weekly News, 3 June 1915, p. 20) AWMM The Following is from the publication De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour - MORGAN, GARLAND OSWALD, Sapper, No. 4/558, New Zealand Expeditionary Force, only son of Tom Henry Morgan, of Hawera, New Zealand, by his wife, Mary, daughter of Daniel Nuttall; born Hawera, New Zealand, 14 December 1902; educated there; was Head Clerk in the Old Age Pension Department, Christchurch; enlisted 18 August 1914; left with the main body for Egypt the following October; proceeded to Gallipoli 25 April, 1915, and was killed in action at Monash Gully by a sniper 11 May following. Buried in the Monash Gully . At about 4 a.m., 11 May, 1915, a squad including Sapper Morgan was sent out to lay a loop on the line. Sapper Morgan had been on duty all night, and was really entitled to a rest, but he practically begged to be allowed to carry out this dangerous mission. He had only been away about 20 minutes when a member of the squad tapped the wire with his portable telephone, and intimated that Morgan had been shot through the heart by sniper. An officer wrote "Sapper Morgan was always ready to tackle any work at any time. He was equally good as a Sapper or Driver, and was very highly thought of by the officers commanding the company."
