Midshipman Audley Wells Morton, R.N. (5 August, 1874 – 18 July, 1893) was an officer of the Royal Navy. He seemed a promising officer, but he died before he got started.

Life & Career

Morton entered the training ship H.M.S. Britannia in January, 1889, having ranked second of forty-five successful candidates for naval cadetships with 1,279 marks.[1]

Morton was promoted to the rank of Midshipman with seniority of 15 January, 1891.[2]

Morton didn't get very far in the Navy. His service record indicates that his name was removed from the Navy List "as it is thought that he is unfit for further service." He died in mid-1893, aged just eighteen.
