DEATH OF A REDHILL BOY
MESSENGER BOY MORLEY
Last week we announced the death of Frank Morley, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Morley, of 10, St. John's-road, Earlswood. He was a messenger boy on H.M.S. Defence, which went down in the North Sea battle. Had he lived another week he would have been 18 years of age, and would have ranked as an orderly seaman, to which he was looking forward with pleasure. Before joining the Navy he worked in the garden at Ashmead, and was spoken of very highly by his employers.
