NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Thursday 21 December 1916
Roll of Honour. We regret to hear that
Mrs Krimmel has received a letter from one of the nurses
at the 4th Casualty Clearing Station in France stating
that her husband, Private C F W Krimmel of the Royal
Lancaster Regiment, has died at the Hospital on the
evening of 2 December. He was admitted suffering from
severe wounds to the head, face and arm and in a very
collapsed condition, though everything possible was
done for him he did not rally and was only just able
to give his wife's address before passing away. The
official notification of death has also been received
by the widow, to whom we tender our sincere condolences.
The deceased was a time expired soldier and was latterly
employed by Mr Perchard the coal merchant. He enlisted
and had only been at the Front four weeks when he was
wounded.
