NEWS ITEM in the Jersey Evening Post
of Tuesday 8 August 1916
Roll of Honour. Unofficial news has been
received that another member of the Jersey Company Royal
Irish Rifles, Corporal E W Jefferys, has made the supreme
sacrifice. This loyal soldier came to Jersey in 1907
to join the local branch of Dr Barnados Homes and was
one of the finest lads and best sportsmen that has ever
been at Teighmore. He later entered the service of the
late Colonel Bagnell and at the outbreak of war mobilised
with the East Battalion. He left the Island with the
original Company and was later promoted Corporal, he
being also a gym instructor. The late Corporal was 23
and leaves a fiancee and a large circle of friends to
mourn his loss, and to these we tender our sincere sympathy.
