Roll of Honour. We regret to state that
Mr & Mrs du Feu of Campbell Terrace, 97 Rouge Bouillon,
have received official intimation that their son Private
E du Feu of the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles was killed
in action on the afternoon of 2 June, during a German
bombardment. This gallant soldier was only 18 and left
the Island for Canada only a few years ago. A comrade
of the deceased writing to the bereaved parents states
that the lad "was a jolly and highly esteemed
soldier and his loss is much regretted by the officers
and men of the Company." We offer Mr &
Mrs du Feu and family our sincere condolences in their
sorrow.
