of Wednesday 21 October 1914
Departure of Militia Officer Lieutenant
S Le G Cutler. Though there were very few passengers
on the Mail Boat this morning animated scenes were witnessed
on the quay. Lieutenant S Le G Cutler of D Company 3rd
Battalion RMIJ was a passenger for England where he
is joining the Army Service Corps and the men of the
Company were determined not to let him leave the Island
without showing him in what high regard he is held by
them. Notwithstanding the fact that they had been on
Outpost Duty for 12 hours the Company looking fit and
smart marched down to the Albert Pier in charge of Captain
P Barrette their popular officer to give the departing
Lieutenant a rousing send-off. The drum and fife band
of the Battalion was also on the quay and played several
selections these, needless to say, included Tipperary
and other now world famous tunes. As the vessel slipped
her mooring the strains of Auld Lang Syne were just
heard above the cheers of the men of the Company. These
were renewed when the Sarnia passed out of the pier
heads, the band playing and cheers being raised until
the vessel was well out of the harbour. Lieutenant Cutler
leaves the Island with the best wishes of his numerous
friends and to these we would our own sincere good wishes
for his future career.

The Roll of Honour. We deeply regret having
to announce that another gallant Jerseyman has just
been added to the list of victims of the War. A telegram
was received this afternoon bearing the sad news that
Captain S Le G Cutler, son of Major Cutler of Queen
Street, had been killed in action. It reads "War
Office, London. Major Cutler, Khartoum House, St Lukes,
Jersey. Deeply regret to inform you that Captain S Le
G Cutler attached to Royal Flying Corps was killed in
action 9 August. The Army Council express their sympathy.
Secretary War Office". The deceased officer,
who was only 23, joined up in August 1914 and got his
Captaincy some 12 months ago. He had a narrow escape
from death only a week ago, his machine being riddled
with bullets and brought down in flames. Captain Cutler
was a grandson of Mr Philip Le Geyt of Khartoum House.
We tender our sincere sympathy to all members of the
family.
