A letter from the Reverend W.A. Trippass, St Nicholas, Droitwich dated 23rd May 1950 can be found within war records held at Worcestershire Archives requesting that Frank Morris be added to the county roll of honour.

Frank and his fellow colleague were killed when their Mosquito IV aircraft (DZ420 XD) crashed 4kms NNE of Sourdeval, France. Their aircraft was one of 26 Mosquitoes that took off from Marham, East Anglia to bomb the Tours railway yards. Frank’s parents lived at 28 Ombersley Street Droitwich and his father was the local police inspector.
