NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 24 May 1918
Roll of Honour. Mrs Fosse of 13 La Motte
Street yesterday received a telegram conveying the sad
news that her husband, Private V Fosse of the Hampshire
Regiment, had died of wounds at the 1st Canadian Casualty
Clearing Station on 17 May. A letter has also been received
from a Roman Catholic Chaplain at the hospital stating
that he buried the soldier on the same day. The late
soldier, who was formerly employed by Mr G J Laurens
as a carter, leaves in addition to the widow a large
family of young children to mourn his loss and to these
we would tender our heartfelt sympathy.
