He remained at the fort for one month, being transferred to Fortress Monroe, Va., where he was commissioned in the Coast Artillery and assigned for duty at Key West, Fla., where he remained three months and was then transferred to the Air Service as an observer. After a period of training in Austin, Tex., Lieutenant Morse was ordered overseas, sailing in March, 1918, in command of a casual company. Upon arrival in France he was assigned to Samur for further training. In August he was assigned to the 135th Aero Squadron, with which outfit he met death while engaged in combat with German planes. He was cited in orders and awarded the D. S. C. for bravery. Lieutenant Morse had previous military training, both in the Naval Reserve and the Officers' Training Camp at The Presidio, Calif., in 1915. He was unmarried. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest R.
