David Melvin Morgan was my Great Uncle who died on the battlefield, with no known burial site, during WWI in France on November 19, 1916, at the tender age of 21. UPDATE: David was killed in the trenches NE of Courcolette, Pas du Calais, France with his remains not located . His name is etched on the Vimy Memorial in France and is on page 138 of the Book of Remembrance in Ottawa which is displayed every March 31st. My Mother Dolores was the only daughter of Coleman (David's full Brother) and Lela Morgan. I never knew I even had this photo until a friend pulled it out of Grandmas' album and we looked on the back. The photo is here and just says David Morgan 1915. I wrote the other information I gleaned from the VAC website and others. I always wanted to honor his memory and the ultimate sacrifice he made to Canada, so this is the least I can do as, too many War Veterans are forgotten. David has a cross in the "Field of Crosses" display in Nov. on Memorial Drive in Calgary and my cousin Don and I with a few friends had a Keeping the Spirit ceremony marking the 100th Anniversary of his sacrifice. I don't know the chap in the photo with David, but imagine they were friends. David was born in Medicine Creek S. Dakota (Lakota Sioux Nation) USA on October 24, 1895 and his Mother was full blooded Lakota Sioux (who allegedly survived Wounded Knee?). Many he rest in Eternal peace and know he is still loved and remembered by family. On September 14, 2015 it will be 100 years since David enlisted in Calgary, Alberta, so I made the extra effort to commemorate him as best I can. He may have been an "Unknown Soldier" but his memory lives on in our hearts. RIP & God Bless you David - Love Cheryl
