Evening Post of Thursday 28 March 1918
Roll of Honour. It is with sincere regret
we chronicle the death which took place in action on Wednesday
20th March of 2nd Lieutenant Gerald Mauger, second son
of Mr & Mrs Clarence G Mauger of 37 Gloucester Street.
The deceased gallant officer was 25 and was very popular
amongst a large circle of friends and acquaintances in
this Island, which he visited on leave only a few weeks
ago. He held an appointment in Guernsey and when the call
came joined the 1st Royal Guernsey Light Infantry with
whom he was fighting on the Western Front. We tender the
bereaved parents and other relatives our sincere sympathy.

The Late Lieutenant Mauger. Referring
to the death in action of 2nd Lieutenant G Mauger the

Mauger, who was 25, was the son of Mr & Mrs Clarence
Mauger of St Helier, Jersey and was for many years a
clerk in the local branch of Capital and Counties Bank.
He volunteered twice and ultimately served for some
months in the ranks of the RGLI. He left for an officers
training school at Fermoy in July of last year in company
with his brother-in-law, Mr C T W Clark. They returned
together in November and both were gazetted 2nd Lieutenant

six weeks ago. In October 1916 Mr Mauger married Miss
Grace Robilliard, third daughter of Mr & Mrs P E
Robilliard, and there is an infant son".
