Wancourt British Cemetery, near Arras
NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of
Friday 6 September 1918
Roll of Honour. It is with sincere regret
we chronicle the death which took place in action on
29 August of Private Clarence Carter of the Canadians.
This gallant soldier was in his 21st year and was born
in Canada, his father being a Jerseyman who now resides
in Montreal. His grandmother, Mrs John Carter, is now
living at 10 Duhamel Place and many of the relatives
reside in the Island. A well known Jerseyman, Ralph
Bliault also of the Canadians, writing to his mother
here states that Clarence Carter died a minute after
being hit, he having received a machine gun bullet in
the heart. He states he saw the deceased a few minutes
before the attack and he was talking about the time
when they would be going on leave together. We offer
the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.
