NEWS ITEM in Jersey
Evening Post of Friday 4 October 1918
Roll of Honour. On 1 September, whilst
in action with the Hampshires, Private Philip Nelson
Le Quesne was severely wounded and was eventually removed
to the 13th General Hospital in Boulogne. Though everything
possible was done for the soldier he did not make much
progress and his wife, nee Miss Elsie J Rondel, and
another relative left Jersey by special authority to
visit him but unfortunately the gallant lad passed away
on Michaelmas Day as the result of his injuries and
was buried in France. The deceased, who was in his 25th
year, was the only son of Mr & Mrs P J Le Quesne
of The Dell, Grouville. To the widow, parents and other
relatives we tender our heartfelt condolences.
