In Canada he had worked as an electrician, but after enlisting he soon found himself back on familiar territory, for the Patricias arrived in England in October 1914. They spent two months in the UK before crossing to France. The Patricias were an experienced battalion for when the call went out for volunteers experienced men were first sought. Bert Morgan was certainly a candidate for he had served for seven years before emigrating, three years with the Rifle Fusiliers and four years with the Berkshire Volunteers. The Patricias first major action was at Bellewaerde Ridge during 2nd Ypres, when the battalion took part in the battle of Frezenberg with devastating costs. From a battalion strength of 650 officers and men when they went into the line on the 6th May they were reduced to 154 when they came out just over two days later. Bert Morgan was one of those who did not come out, being killed in action as the Germans tried to take the ridge. He was 32 when he died and like so many who fell at Ypres he has no known grave, and is commemorated on the Menin Gate.
