Harry Valentine Morton appears in the 'British Red Cross Register of Overseas Volunteers, 1914-1918' as serving with the British Red Cross Society as an orderly at No.6 British Red Cross Hospital (Liverpool Merchants). The hospital opened in Le Touquet in March 1915 and moved to a hutted hospital at Etaples on 5th July 1915. The BRCS Register notes that Harry Morton's posting was to Etaples, so presumably he went to France after 5th July 1915. There's a unit war diary at The National Archives, reference WO95/4112.
