Roll of Honour. The sympathy of all who
know them will go out to Mr & Mrs Guillard of Anchor
Lodge, La Rocque, in the loss they have sustained through
the death of their eldest son, 1st Class Petty Officer
Frederick Mclean Guillard of the Royal Navy, which occurred
on Tuesday last when HMS Penarth was sunk off the Yorkshire
coast whilst engaged in laying buoys. The deceased,
who was only 21, joined the Navy 3 years ago as a carpenter
and joiner and by sheer ability had risen to the rank
of Chief Petty Officer. In November last he volunteered
for service in a minesweeper. We tender our sincere
condolences to the bereaved father, mother and family
at this very severe blow.
