Letter from Private Jack McArthur who played for the Fitzroy Football Club:

 

I am enclosing a photograph of three other chaps and myself. Perhaps you know some of them. C. H. Morgan was a leading member of the Essendon Rowing Club; Driver Les Doig was also a prominent member of the same club, and well-known among metropolitan oarsmen ; he is also a recruit of the Essendon Association football team; Sergeant Dave Allidice is a well-known cyclist of a few years back, and once held the record from Melbourne to Sydney.

Letter by Morgan-W-J-Pte-2208  published in the Essendon Gazette on 23 March 1916

 

The remaining brother, Cecil, No. 453, 7th Battalion, is a signaller in France. He was wounded on Gallipoli shortly after the landing, and still has one of the bullets in his right shoulder, which the Army Medical authorities hesitate to remove, as it would probably result in the loss of the use of the right arm. 

 

Extract from a longer report in the Essendon Gazette on the death of his brother Morgan W J Pte 2208

 

The parents of Private Cecil H. Morgan, 7th Battalion A.I.F. (formerly of 11 Robb street but now of 55 McCarron parade, Essendon) have been notified that he is returning to Australia. He is one of the original Anzacs, wounded on Gallipoli, and his name appeared in the casualty list published October 28th last, wounded, second occasion-(gas). His brother, Private Ernest R. Morgan, was wounded October, 1917, and April, 1918, and was in hospital when last writing, with septic wound in leg.
