NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Friday 18 October
1918
Roll of Honour. It is our painful duty
to state that Mr & Mrs Le Masurier of Elizabeth
Terrace, Tower Road have received news that their third
son, Lance Corporal Henry William Le Masurier of the
Lewis Gun Section Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry,
was killed in action on 29 September. The deceased soldier,
who was just over 20, was formerly employed at the Veneer
Company and shortly after the outbreak of war went on
permanent duty with the RMIJ. He had been in France
about 12 months and was expected on leave in a few days,
but unfortunately the family's joyful expectancy has
been turned to grief by the receipt of a letter from
the officer of the section informing them of their sad
loss. Unhappily this is the second son the parents have
lost in the war, another having been killed at Gallipoli.
We offer the bereaved family and the deceased's fiancee
our heartfelt sympathy.
