SECOND LIEUTENANT CHARLES SIDNEY STUART MORGAN
ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY
2ND FEBRUARY 1918 AGE 29
BURIED: LIVERPOOL KIRKDALE CEMETERY, UK
Officer Killed in the Fog
A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned at a Kensington inquest yesterday on the body of Lieutenant Chas. Sydney Morgan, aged 29, of the R.F.C. (sic), whose home was at Walton, Liverpool.
In the dense fog last Thursday night Mr Morgan stepped off the platform at West Brompton (District) Station, and was crushed between the wheels of a Wimbledon train and the live rail. In order to extricate him the officials had to raise the coach with jacks, and this took an hour. It was found that his toes had been crushed, his thigh broken, and that he was badly burned by the current. He died two days later.
