NEWS ITEM in Jersey
Evening Post of Thursday 23 August 1917
Jersey Postman Fatally Injured in Bombing
Accident. We regret to state that Sergeant George Antony
(Jock) Kennedy of the Post Office Rifles was injured in
a bombing accident near London a few days ago and passed
away on Tuesday. Jock Kennedy will be remembered as a
prominent footballer and a popular postman at the St Helier
Post Office, who like many other local postmen joined
up soon after the outbreak of war. The news of his tragic
death will be received with regret by scores of friends
and acquaintances and to the widow, who currently is residing
in England, we tender our sincere sympathy.
