An article printed in the Hastings & St Leonards Observer on 5th December 1914 states: Private H. J. Morfee, ‘A’ Company, 2nd Royal Sussex Regiment, a native of Hastings, writing to the editor, says:-
‘Just a line to say I am doing well, having been out here, since 12th August, so you can guess I have had a warm time of it so far. I have received the ‘Advertiser’ every week bar once, and that was when I appeared in the Roll of Honour.
I can honestly say that there is a regular call in the trenches of ‘After you, Morfee, with the ‘Chopbacks’ paper, and you should see the boys smile. P.S. – German sausages will go well with Turkey at Christmas. Roll on, good old Hastings; it is better than France or Belgium.’
