James Cairns Morrow "Copper"

October 10, 2009

Came across your blog today while researching James Cairns Morrow, who incidentally was my step-brother. His father and mine were the same. I remember as a child going to the movies during the war with dad just to see James in a newsreel. I am the eldest of three daughters born to James Ernest Morrow and an English girl by the name of Annie Hartley,who became his second wife, making James my half-brother. My name is Roma Higgs and I live in Perth, Western Australia. I was thrilled to read Melanie's and your correspondence and will make copies for my family history file.The reason I was on the computer today was to seek information on my brothers two sons, James and Simon Morrow. If you have any more information or tales to tell about him I would be pleased to hear from you.

Roma,

How nice to hear from you, especially as Copper Morrow was your step-brother.

I have very fond memories of him, especially from our time together in HMAS Shropshire, Copper was a delight to work for, and it was a privilege to do so.
 
Go to this URL: HMAS Shropshire, a book by Stan Nicholls, is available online.

The book is reproduced in total, and you may well glean some extra info about your late step brother.

Best wishes and regards. 
Mackenzie.
