NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Monday 30 December
1918
Roll of Honour. We regret to state that
Mrs Catelinet of Seaton Place has received a letter
from the Reverend Cecil Salt, Chaplain of HM Hospital
Ship Karapara, confirming the news she had previously
received by telegram that her son, Private John Catelinet
of the Royal Marines, died on the vessel from pneumonia.
The Chaplain states that the Marine was admitted to
the Hospital Ship on 2 December and though everything
possible was done for him he passed away two days later.
The ship was then stationed at Mudros and the gallant
Jerseyman, who was in his 20th year, was buried at Mudros
Cemetery. Unfortunately this is the second son that
the widowed mother has lost in this war and we feel
sure our readers join us in tendering our sincere sympathy.
