Military careerMorris was the son of Rev. G. S. Morris, of Bretforton, Worcestershire.[1] He was commissioned into the Royal Marine Light Infantry on 12 May 1859.[2] He sailed in the first-rate HMS Queen off the coast of Naples in the aftermath of the Second Italian War of Independence in 1860 and then sailed off the coast of Syria during the Mount Lebanon Civil War later that year.[3] In the early 1860s he landed several times with armed parties to protect British interests in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Lebanon and Greece.[1] Morris served in the Nile Expedition in 1884,[3] and was with the Royal Marine battalion at the Suakin Expedition in 1885. From March 1885 until the end of the expedition he was Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General of the Suakin Field force and Assistant Provost Marshal and Press Censor. When the expedition was abolished he was for a time Commandant of Suakin Town.[1] After his return to the United Kingdom, Morris was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1888.[1] Morris became colonel commandant of the Royal Marine Depot, Deal in 1897 [3] and Deputy Adjutant-General Royal Marines (the professional head of the Royal Marines) in March 1900,[4] before retiring in June 1902 due to ill health.[5] He committed suicide in Kensington on 1 October 1902.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Obituaries |day_of_week=Saturday |date=4 October 1902 |page_number=6 |issue=36890| }} {{s-start}}{{s-mil}}{{s-bef|before=Sir Henry Tuson}}{{s-ttl|title=Deputy Adjutant-General Royal Marines|years=1900–1902}}{{s-aft|after=Sir William Wright}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Morris, John}}2. ^{{London Gazette|issue=22280|page=2515|date=12 May 1859}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url= http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/joseph-jackson-howard/visitation-of-england-and-wales-volume-17-awo/page-11-visitation-of-england-and-wales-volume-17-awo.shtml |title= Visitation of England and Wales|volume=17|accessdate=23 May 2016}} 4. ^{{London Gazette|issue=27174|page=1791|date=16 March 1900}} 5. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.gulabin.com/armynavy/pdf/Senior%20Royal%20Navy%20Appointments%201865-.pdf|title=Senior Royal Navy appointments|accessdate=20 May 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=TS19021127.2.13 |title=Suicide of a general|publisher=The Star|date=27 November 1902|page=2|accessdate=23 May 2016}} 3 : 1842 births|1902 deaths|Royal Marines generals |
