NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Thursday 24 May 1917
Roll of Honour. The many friends of Corporal
Adolphus James (Jim) Aubert of the Kings Own Regiment
will regret to hear that he has been killed in action
somewhere in France. This gallant Jerseyman enlisted
in the Kings Own when the 2nd Battalion was stationed
here some 8 years ago. He was stationed in India when
war broke out and returning to Europe had been sent
four times to the various scenes of warfare. He was
last in the Island about a year ago when he came from
the Dardanelles, where he had contracted enteric. He
had been stationed in Plymouth for about 10 months and
married a young lady from that town last December. He
returned to France only 2 months ago. The late Corporal
was 23. To the widow and parents here we offer our sincere
sympathy.
