Extract from Hertfordshire Mercury, 9 March 1918:

CODICOTE.

Lce.-Corpl. Ernest Leonard Morgan, killed in action in France, was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Morgan, of Hill Top Villa, and was 19 years of age last July, and before he joined up in February last year he was employed as a bricklayer by Mr. Francis Newton, of Welwyn and Hitchin. He only went out to France in September last and was in the South Staffordshire Regt. From the infantry Record Office at Lickfield last week-end came the sad news from the Army Council to his parents that he was killed in action, or died of wounds, on or since October 26, 1917. Morgan appeared to be a promising young man: and was well liked in the village, and much esteemed. He was a member of the Baptist Mission Hall and possessed considerable musical talents and his early death is much regretted, while much sympathy is extended to his parents, brothers, and sisters. This is the second son Mr. and Mrs. Morgan have lost during the war. Their other son, Pte. Frederick Morgan, aged 23, of the Canadian Highlanders, was killed in France nearly two years ago at the Hooge battle. Pte. Frank Morgan was recently wounded in the leg, and has been transferred back to Canada for the purpose of learning motoring. Corpl. George Morgan, of the Canadian Ambulance Corps, was wounded also in the leg, and is at Buxton, Derbyshire, as a ward master in hospital there. Sister Florence Ellen Moragn, after having been up the line at the dressing station for a considerable period, where she has done some splendid work, after a short holiday at home with her parents, has gone to the 2nd General Hospital at Le Havre.
