Stanley Morris was born in Sefton Park, Liverpool, on 4 July 1890. Educated at Holt Secondary School and Beaumaris Grammar School in North Wales, he initially attested for the 6th (Rifle) Battalion, King’s (Liverpool) Regiment, as Rifleman, and was later appointed to a commission with the Western Cable Telegraph Company, Royal Engineers. Embarked for France in September 1915, he served as Signals Officer at 81st Brigade Headquarters, Royal Garrison Artillery. In common with many at the time, his service career was blighted by poor health, most notably stomach complaints; he spent October and early November 1918 at the 2nd London General Hospital and was later readmitted to the 1st Eastern General Hospital in January 1919.
