NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Monday 4 December 1916
Roll of Honour - Two Years a Prisoner
of War. Since the outbreak of hostilities in 1914 Mr
Jouguet of 17 Kensington Place has been without news
of his son Harold, a Private in 1st Northamptonshire
Regiment, and several letters from the War Office in
reply to enquiries made stated that he was missing and
though he possibly might be a prisoner of war in Germany
no intimation to that effect had been received. We now
learn that after 2 years Mr Jouguet has received information
through the medium of the Geneva Red Cross Society that
his son, Private Harold Jouguet, had been a prisoner
of war in Wienderft Camp and that he died last month
and was buried in a cemetery nearby. The facts have
been fully reported and it is hoped that fuller details
will be forthcoming. We offer our sincerest condolences
to the family who have received such a terrible blow.
