He attended the Senior Department of the Royal Military College passing out in 1851, and purchasing his promotion to Captain 25th April 1851 (so commemorated on the beaker). At Balaklava the 17th Lancers under Captain Morris occupied the front centre of the Light Brigade. As they began the advance, Captain Nolan, an old friend of Morris, is reputed to have said ‘Now Morris, for a bit of fun” before spurring his horse forward towards Cardigan. Morris called to Nolan “That won’t do Nolan, we have a long way to go and must be steady”, Nolan was then killed by a bursting Russian shell. It will always be a subject of debate as to whether Nolan, realising the Light Brigade was advancing into the jaws of death, was trying to warn Cardigan of Russian artillery hidden by terrain. Morris apparently believing they advanced as intended. As the artillery fire increased the Light Brigade gathered momentum with Cardigan calling out to Morris to keep steady to prevent his being overtaken by the 17th Lancers. Morris had the good fortune to reach the Russian guns unscathed and charged past to Russian cavalry beyond, attacking an officer with his sword which he was unable to disengage. With Morris now at the mercy of the Russians he received two sword blows to his head. After surrendering his sword Morris was able to make his escape using stray horses, which were killed under him, then trying to continue on foot. Seeing the severely wounded officer on the ground Sergeant Charles Wooden (17th Lancers) and Surgeon James Mouat (6th Dragoon Guards) went to his assistance. Wooden and Mouat each being awarded the Victoria Cross for their action with Mouat being the first medical recipient of the new decoration. Shown on General Bucknall Estcourt’s Return as severely wounded, Morris was also mentioned in Lord Lucan’s dispatch
