Roll of Honour Another East Surrey Sergeant who has laid down his life on the field of honour is Sergeant Charles Haines who from the time of leaving the service until the outbreak of war was employed by Messrs F Le Gallais & Sons. The gallant NCO, who was only 28, was married to a Jersey lady and leaves 3 children to mourn his loss. From the official intimation it appears that the Sergeant lost his life on 27 April last. To his widow and family we offer our sincere condolences in their bereavement.
