NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Monday 28 January 1918
Jersey Officer Drowned. Sergeant G Marret
has received a telegram stating that a personal friend
of the family, Lieutenant P Bisson of the Royal Naval
Reserve, has been killed as the result of the vessel
he was serving on being torpedoed. The late Lieutenant
Bisson, who was the son of Mr Edward Bisson of Greenwood,
St Johns, was formerly captain of a large oil steamer
in the Argentine service and married Miss Clarissa Renouf,
younger daughter of the late Captain Renouf, formerly
of Delville, Georgetown. Three years ago he crossed
over to England and joined the Royal Navy and was given
the rank of Lieutenant. We offer our sincerest condolence
to the widow and relatives.
