NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of
Saturday 1 September 1917
Roll of Honour. Mr & Mrs G Cabot of Bristol Villa,
Georgetown have received a letter from Reverend E Hill
of the 32nd Casualty Clearing Station, stating that their
only son, Private George Alfred Cabot of the Royal Army
Medical Corps, has been killed in action. The writer states
that the family should feel proud in their loss as their
son, as a stretcher bearer, often risked and eventually
gave his life in seeking to save the wounded in No Mans
Land. His body was in a dangerous place and lay in the
open from 23 August to 27 August when his comrades were
able to go out and bring him in, after which he was buried
in Brandhoek Cemetery. The late gallant soldier, who was
in his 27th year, was an old St Marks Boy and previous
to joining up was a hairdresser at Mr Le Miere's establishment.
We tender the family our sincere sympathy in their bereavement,
