Roll of Honour. Another former employee of Ronez Quarries, Adolphus Le Cornu who was serving in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps, has made the supreme sacrifice. This soldier, who was in his 33rd year, was last in Jersey on leave in January and had been in France since March, but unfortunately he was killed in action on 23 August. He leaves a widow, nee Miss Julia Rimeur, who resides at Mont Mado and a child to mourn his loss and to these we tender our sincere sympathy.
