Hi, there are newspaper articles and photos of Robert Oliver Morris available if you are still researching him.
Morris x Thomas family. I think they lived in Meline but are registered at Narberth.

No I have one of him in his uniform which I will forward to you. My sister should have the news clippings and photo of his wounds. He was our uncle.
We have another cousin researching also. I've been having a break and had to change my email address.

 :) can confirm all the research above is correct. There was another newspaper article with a photo of Robert showing his wounds. I no longer have access to that but he lived in Lampeter velfry, Narberth, Pembrokeshire at the time. The article said he was a "local" hero so perhaps you could find which newspapers fit that criteria.
Robert initially enlisted with the Welsh Horse regiment which later was absorbed into the Welsh  Fusiliers.
I have a photo of him in his uniform on a tree on Ancestry. Have no objection to anyone viewing or sharing it.
I'm not good at military stuff or tech, but am told that the uniform was that of the Welsh Horse regiment and his stripes indicate his rank. Not sure if that's of interest to anyone.

He was in the 1st. Batt. (but may have been transferred) & discharged 9/8/16.
Went overseas 1/4/15 which qualified him for the 15 Star.
