LtJG Morris Davies Gilmore Jr.¹

Parents:

Birth, Marriage, Death, and Burial:

• On 5-DEC-1916, LtJG Morris Davies Gilmore Jr. was born in Annapolis, Anne Arundel Co., MD, USA.¹
• He was the son of Captain Morris Davies Gilmore and Mary Isemann.^1,2
• Cause of death: Killed in action during the sinking of the USS Edsall.
• On 1-MAR-1942, LtJG Morris Davies Gilmore Jr. (25 years, 2 months and 24 days) died. The USS Edsall (DD-219) was between Christmas Island and Tjilatjap (Cilacap), Java, Indonesia when it was sunk.
  
  Japanese Imperial Navy officers aboard the cruiser Chikuma many years later reported that a number of men may have survived the sinking of Edsall—they were found in the water on liferafts, cutters, clinging to debris, etc. However, due to a submarine alert, the nervous Japanese only stopped long enough to rescue a handful (the Japanese word is jakkan) before they received orders to steam off for home base, leaving the others to perish in the Indian Ocean.
  
  Chikuma stopped to pick up 5 survivors (possibly 8). When interrogated, they revealed the name of the ship (recorded in Chikuma's log as the destroyer "Edosooru") and explained how their skipper had managed to avoid Japanese fire for so long. The Edsall survivors were left at a prisoner of war camp at Celebes, and there official Japanese records of them cease.
  
  Based on verbal accounts by Japanese veterans after the war, the US Army Graves Registration Service visited the island of Celebes, and locals directed them to a forgotten POW camp at Kendari. There they found five unmarked graves, and identified the beheaded bodies of Edsall crewmen Sidney Amory, Horace Andrus, J.R. Cameron, Larry Vandiver, and Donald Watters. In addition to what are thought to be five more USAAF personnel from Langley, along with numerous Javanese, Chinese, and Dutch merchant sailors from the Dutch merchant-ship Modjokerto, sunk the same day as Edsall in the same area south of Christmas Island.
  
  Donald M. Kehn's novel A Blue Sea of Blood: Deciphering the Mysterious Fate of the USS Edsall (https://amzn.to/3cH46Yg) explores the many puzzling facets of the Edsall’s disappearance in order to finally tell the full story of the fate of the vessel and her crew. Indian Ocean.^1,3,4,5,6
• He was lost at sea in Indian Ocean.¹

Other Events:

• His common name was Chick.
• Was Awarded US Armed Forces Purple Heart in USA.⁷
• He resided in Anne Arundel County, Maryland prior to the war.
  
  Morris, who was previously an Ensign, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade on January 8, 1942.
  
  He was awarded the Purple Heart. Service # O-082371
  
  Chick has known his way around in the Navy since he was a little shaver, having been born with Navy in his blood (his father and uncle were Navy officers). He goes about a job in a way that shows determination and something of the spirit of Farragut and his "Damn the torpedoes———." Chick shows a preference for "Crabs," but stags as often as he drags. The radiator is too uncomfortable, so Chick can usually be found near a lacrosse stick, his favorite sports companion. He is quiet and cheerful, traits especially appreciated in that black five minutes after reveille. The happy faculty of separating his work from his play makes him a good roommate. Combine with this a sense of humor and orderliness and there is the material for a successful officer.^3,1
