1918
Roll of Honour. We regret to record the
death of another gallant Jerseyman, Petty Officer Philip
J M Jordan of the Royal Navy, who lost his life while
serving on one of HM destroyers on 12 January. The deceased
sailor was an old St Pauls boy and joined the Royal
Navy some 24 years ago, he was trained on the famous
Boscawen and later served on HMS Raven when this well-known
vessel was stationed in local waters. He was the son
of Mr R Jordan who was presumed drowned on the SS Caledonia
when she was wrecked in local waters and was the nephew
and son-in-law of Mr R Jordan of Clarence Terrace. To
the widow, who resides in Portsmouth, and other relatives
we tender our sincere sympathy.
