NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Monday 14 January 1918
Roll of Honour. It is with deep regret
we announce the death of Lance Corporal Albert Edward
Ennis Guppy of the London Regiment which took place
on 23 November last during the fighting in Palestine.
The deceased gallant soldier was formerly employed by
Mr Smith, aerated water manufacturer, and joined up
over 2 years ago in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He
was in Dublin during the rebellion and later transferred
to the London Regiment, with whom he proceeded to France
in June 1916, he afterwards served in Salonika and later
took part in the fighting in Palestine leading up to
the capture of Jerusalem. Letters were received in Jersey
from the Corporal as late as Friday last so that the
shock the parents received yesterday when they received
the official notification of his death in action can
be imagined. The late soldier, who was 32, was the third
son of Mr & Mrs J G Guppy of St Johns Road, he was
a widower and leaves two children. We tender the bereaved
our heartfelt sympathy.
