News was received on Saturday of the death
from wounds of Private Wilfred Le Rossignol of the 1st
North Staffordshire Regiment, youngest son of the late
Colonel Le Rossignol RJM and Mrs Le Rossignol of El
Retiro, St Saviours Road. Private Le Rossignol, who
was 35, was an Old Victorian and at the outbreak of
war was on the London Stock Exchange. In October 1914
he joined the Army Pay Corps but was later transferred
to the 1st North Staffs. Sometime ago he received a
shrapnel wound in the knee and it was to this injury
that he succumbed. The deceased leaves a widow, son
and step-son to whom, and to the other relatives, we
tender our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
