RESIDENCE:
BEF 1871-AFT 1871: 44,Hampshire Street,Portsea, Portsmouth,HAM

OCCUPATIONS:
21Jul1885-22Jun1893: Lance Corporal & Sergeant for Ist Dorsetshire RegimentOccupation Note: In 1885 Harry joined on a short service attestation which was for up to 12 years of full time or reserve service. He gave his [?civilian?] trade as butcher and is described as 18 yrs old, 5 ft 31/2 inches tall , weight 117 lbs, chest 33 3/4 inches, complexion pale, eyes blue, hair light brown , Church of England.Dates of Arrival or Embarkation during this period of service were:Dorchester 22.07.85Portland 11.08.86Weymouth 05.11.86Portland 14.01.86HMS Crocodile 08,09.88Malta 14.09.88Alexandria 18.07.89Cairo 31.07.89Alexandria 06.09.89Cairo 31.12.89S.S. ?Jelunga? 02.06.93Home 10.06.93He was promoted to Corporal on 31 May 1889 and Sergeant on 14 April 1892 and discharged on 20 July 1897 having completed 12 years service. His next of kin was Henry MORCOM (father) of 36 York Street, Southsea, despite his wife Clara also being listed on the form.
17Mar1900-ABT 1901: Sergeant for Royal Garrison ArtilleryOccupation Note: Harry MORCOMBE signed on for One Year with the Colours on 17 March 1900. He was joining the 5th Batt. Royal Reserve. Rgt. He age is given as 32 yrs 7 months, trade as waiter, and married. His height was 5 ft 10 3/4 ins and weight 120 lbs. The address 51 Vauxhall Mansions, Vauxhall appears on one of the forms..
BEF 1901-AFT 1901: Colour Sergeant for 3rd South Res. Regiment in Hampshire.Occupation Note: He was again on a short service attestation. All his pension records name him as Harry MORCOM. His weight had increased to 144 lbs and his chest to 38-39.In his Attestation for Short Service (Two years Garrison duty with the Colours), dated 7/12 March 1901, Harry gives these details about himself: b. Portsea, age 32 years 8 mths, [?civilian?] trade waiter, married, never imprisoned, previous service in Dorset Regiment terminated by agreement. Willing to serve overseas. Fit for Army service. He had re-enlisted as a Colour Sergeant.According to his 1900 Pension records he was married to Clara and his children were "Harrick" [?Eric], Vera, Bernard & MayHis previous service before 1901 had already totalled 17 years 14 months and by his discharge at his own request on 1 April 1905 he had added a further 4 yrs 26 days to his pension. On discharge he named his wife as Clara MORCOM nee "NEWENDROFF" whom he had married in London on 13 Nov 1893. Their children Henrick, Vera, Bernard and May were born in London. It is probably significant that he does not name Frank Edward and Elsie Claire who were later sent to Canada by Barnardos [the latter could not have been conceived by Harry as he was serving in the Mediterranean.] Nor does he list Phyllis or Arthur who were probably Julia NEUENDORFF's children. Oddly Eric and Cecil, twin of Bernard, are also omitted and we have not found Henrick elsewhere [Is he Eric?].He was discharged, at his own request, on the 1 April 1905. He had served in Malta from 13 May 1902 to 25 Nov1903.
11Sep1914-05Sep1919: Colour Sergeant for Initially 1 Yr Reserve but extended because the war lasted more than one yearOccupation Note: On 11 Sep 1914 , in Belfast Harry MORCOM, age 46, signed on in the Army Reserve (Specialist Reservists) for One Year service in the R ?I? Rifles. He was then 46 and describes himself as a Factory Foreman. He was married, had no criminal record, was already in the National Reserve, and had previously served in the Dorset Regiment, Royal Reserve and ?Lt? Battalion R.G.R. If the war lasted for over a year he would have to serve until the end of the war. He was posted as Warrant Officer Class II but seems to have served as Company Sergeant Major until 5 September 1919. He served in France from 3 Oct 1915 to 14 Jan 1917. The last year of his service seems to have been in Dorchester. His character was described as "very good".In his discharge document of Sept 1919, his wife is listed as Clara "NUENDORFF" of 129 Campden St, London NW, despite her death having occurred on 14 April 1917. He only lists as his living children Ivy Maud, and Dorothy May. Harry Lawrence is named then crossed out as he had died on 7 Feb 1919..

GENERAL NOTES:
Is he the Henry MORCOM in the following press report of "Violence at Southsea" in the Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle etc (Portsmouth, England), Saturday, March 15, 1884; Issue 5361. A inquest was held into the death of a Elizabeth Martell, 67. The magistrates had already committed for trial a soldier named BOLTON, belonging to the Hampshire Regiment, stationed at New Barracks, Gosport on a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm upon the deceased on 26 December. Despite a fractured thigh"she was allowed to lie in her kitchen in a terribly neglected and filthy condition until she was moved to the Workhouse by the authorities". Two witnesses said that the soldier had deliberately assaulted the victim........ Henry Morcom who was with Bolton when the affair occurred, said the latter was drunk. "He saw Bolton fall against the deceased, and although the latter fell to the ground witness and his companion went on, as a boy and a man were picking the deceased up". Another witness who was accompanying BOLTON and MORCOM also said the death was due to an accident.
Married Clara Jane as Harry Sandall MORCOM. Family in USA were told that he was an officer at the time of Frank Edward's birth.
