He isn't in Find A Grave's (incomplete) records for Treorchy Cemetery; the two reports gave two different spellings of his surname. Probably a Regular serviceman or a Reservist.
Mr. Howell Morgan, 9, Thomas Street, Pentre, who until recently was at the front, has just passed away. He died at Merthyr last Saturday. His body was conveyed from Merthyr to Ystrad, and interred in Treorchy Cemetery on Wednesday. A short service was held at the house, when the Rev. D. G. Morris, Zion, officiated. Great sympathy is felt with his widow and relatives.
