NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening
Post of Wednesday 19 May 1915
Roll of Honour. We regret to learn that
Mrs de la Cour of 3 Dunell Place, First Tower has received
official notification of the death of her son, Private
Percy S de la Cour of the Dorset Regiment, which took
place on 3 May from the effects of poisonous gas. The
deceased, who has a brother serving in the Royal Field
Artillery, joined the Army shortly after the declaration
of war and in due course proceeded to the Front. He
was wounded and after having remained in hospital for
some time he was granted sick furlough and crossed over
to Jersey to see his parents. He was formerly in the
employ of West End Bathing Co Ltd and was highly respected
by everyone. We offer our sincerest condolences to the
mother and family.
