NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 13 November 1914
Captain Frederick C S Dunlop Killed in
Action. It is with the deepest regret we have to announce
the death of Captain Frederick Cleave Strickland Dunlop
of 1st Battalion Manchester Regiment who was killed
in action on 8 November. The gallant Captain, who was
37, was the fourth son of Dr & Mrs A Dunlop of Belgrave
House, Great Union Road, he was educated at Victoria
College and married a Jersey lady, Miss Williams of
Heathfield. Many Jersey families have given the best
of their sons to the Empire but none more than Dr &
Mrs Dunlop who have lost 2 sons in the present Great
War whilst another was killed at Ladysmith and another
died in Africa about the same time. We feel sure that
the sympathies of everyone in the Island will be extended
to Dr & Mrs Dunlop and the gallant Captain's widow
in their bereavement. The Empire also has to mourn the
loss of a most promising officer who we feel sure would
have risen high in the noble profession he had chosen.
To the many expressions of sympathy the parents have
received we beg to add our own sincere condolences.
