Where did you get the info from Bernard L/Cpls Morris' MIC only gives him in the foresters no mention of the Royal Fusiliers.

hiya mate,its from the leek+district sailors+soldiers roll of honour,printed nov 1915,he probably transferred to the sherwoods before going abroad so his service number for the royal fusiliers wont be on his MIC,bernard
