Lieutenant-Commander Trevor James Glanville, D.S.C., R.N.V.R., later wrote: "Of the R.M. personnel I wish particularly to mention the name of Marine Morgan who regularly worked long hours and went far beyond the normal requirements of his duty both in searching for documents and in sorting, listing, packing and labelling of captured material. He was personally responsible for finding in unusual places several valuable documents."

Enlisted from the Wallasey Constabulary. Served with 30 Commando in the Mediterranean and North West Europe. Awarded the Distinguished Service Medal "for good services in operations leading to the liberation of France."
