LIEUTENANT
MORYS WYNNE-JONES, ROYAL ENGINEERS, of Treiorwerth, Anglesey,
who was killed in action near Zandvoorde on the 29th October,
1914, was the son of the Rev. J. W. Wynne-Jones, Vicar of Carnarvon,
and the Hon. Jessie F. Wynne-Jones, daughter of the late Lord
Aberdare.
He was born at Carnarvon on the 13th May, 1887, and was educated
at Fonthill, Charterhouse, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where
he took his degree of B. A. , becoming later a member of the Institute
of Civil Engineers. He was subsequently on the staff of the Mexican
Eagle Oil Co. , Tampico.
Originally in the Special Reserve, R. E. (Supplementary Officers),
which he joined in June, 1912, as 2nd Lieutenant, he returned
unsummoned from abroad on the declaration of war, and in September,
1914, was gazetted Lieutenant in his corps. ("London Gazette,"
20th May, 1915).
Extract
from De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour 1914-1918, volume 1, page
210:
WYNNE-JONES,
MORYS, Lieut. , 54th Field Coy. Royal Engineers, only s.
of the Rev. John William Wynne-Jones, of Trelorwerth, Anglesey,
Vicar of Carnarvon, by his wife, the Hon. Jessie Frances née
Bruce, dau. of Henry Austin, 1st Baron Aberdare; b. Carnarvon,
13 May, 1887; educ. Fonthill, Charterhouse, and Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he rowed in his college boat and won his oar. He
graduated B. A. 1909, and after passing his A. M. Inst. C. E. examination,
was for nearly two years an engineer on the Cardiff Railway, under
the late Lord Merthyr, being subsequently appointed one of the engineers
of the Mexican Eagle Oil Co. , at Tampico, Mexico. He had joined
the Special Reserve of Officers of the Royal Engineers as 2nd Lieut.
26 June, 1912, and on the outbreak of war, without waiting to be
summoned, he at once returned to England. He was promoted Lieut.
4 Oct. 1914; left for France 4 Oct. 1914, with the 7th Division,
and was killed in action at Zandevoorde, during the 1st Battle of
Ypres on the 29th of the same month; unm. Capt. (now Major)
Guy Williams, commanding 54th Field Coy. , wrote that they were
called upon to counter-attack with the Yorkshire Regt. at a point
where the Germans had broken through the British firing line.
Lieut. Wynne-Jones was leading his section when the enemy's shrapnel
found them, and he was killed instantaneously. The Coy. feel his
loss very much. He understood his men and his job. I miss him personally
as an excellent and most efficient subaltern and as a good friend.
" Capt. R. M. Burgoyne, 2nd Royal Scots Fusiliers, now a prisoner
in Germany, also wrote of two engineer officers, Lieut. Wynne-Jones
and Lieut. J. M. Smeathman, who, he said, "Did a lot of good
work for them. both as engineers and infantry, always being ready
to take a rifle and bear a hand. They were two very gallant fellows.
