NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Friday 18 October
1918
Roll of Honour. Yesterday Mr & Mrs
Johns of 84 Great Union Road received the sad news of
the death in action on 28 September last of their elder
son, Private W (Bert) Johns of the Hampshire Regiment.
The deceased, who was 25, was formerly employed at Wests
Pictures and was one of the original members of the
Jersey Contingent. Wounded in 1916 he recovered and
went back to the Front only to be gassed last April.
His parents were expecting him on leave within the next
few days and the news of his death has thus come as
an added shock. We tender the family our sincere sympathy.
