NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Monday 19 August 1918
Roll of Honour. The many friends and acquaintances
of Private Charles Coles of the Hampshire Regiment will
regret to learn that his mother, who resides at 35 Belmont
Road, has received news that the soldier died on 14
August at Basra from the effects of the heat. The deceased
soldier will be remembered as a driver for Mrs Curwood
and whilst in the employ of the latter, by his unfailing
courtesy, he made many friends. He had been in the Forces
a little over 12 months and had been most of that period
in the East. To the mother, who has another son, a Sergeant
in the Royal Irish Rifles a prisoner of war in Germany,
we tender our heartfelt condolences.
