Herbert Morris Owen was born at Oswestry in 1897 enlisting in the Gloucester Hussars in 1916. Commissioned into the 9th Bn Cheshire Regiment in 1917. Owen died of wounds on the 25th of March 1918 a couple of days after seeing action during Operation Michael, Kaiser Offensive. His brother was also an officer being killed in 1917.
