Harry became an engineer after leaving Wrekin, firstly in Argentina and then Australia where he met and married his wife. Awarded the 'Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society's Silver Medal' and the 'Certificate of the Carnegie Hero Fund Trust' after he saved a small boy from drowning in a canal; this was even more remarkable as he had just been discharged from Chester Royal Infirmary a week earlier following a serious illness. The shock was such as to necessitate his readmission to the hospital.

At the outbreak of war he joined the RAMC rising to the rank of Sergeant and was commissioned into the RE in 1942. Harry arrived in France shortly after D-Day but was killed in a car accident in Brussels on Sunday 9^th September 1945 at the age of 44 and is buried in the town cemetery.

Husband of Audrey Morris of Wellington, Shropshire: son of Allan Tom Morris & Marion Morris.

His eldest brother Lieutenant Allan Duncan Morris, also an OW, was killed in France in August 1918.
