History

Born in St. John, New Brunswick, civil engineer Thomas Sydney Morrissey studied engineering at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, before enlisting in 1914. He was awarded Companion of the Distinguished Service Order in June 1916. Later the same year he married Beatrice Hilda Coristine, daughter of a prominent Montreal businessman. In 1918-1919, as a lieutenant–colonel, he was sent with 55 men to Omsk in Siberia in support of British battalions there. After returning to Canada, he eventually became Vice President and general manager of the Combustion Engineering Corporation at the Canadian headquarters in Montreal. The family lived in the Westmount neighborhood just blocks from the homes of his father, who was in the insurance business, and sister, the painter Darrell Clara Morissey, a member of the Beaver Hall group of artists.
