Commemorated on St Brelade's Parish Memorial, Jersey

NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Friday 4 October 1918

Roll of Honour. Yet another gallant Jersey Canadian, Wilfred John Le Rossignol, has been called upon to make the supreme sacrifice. This loyal son of the Motherland was in his 25th year and was the youngest son of Mr & Mrs Le Rossignol of Maison l'Abbe, St Aubins. He left Jersey for Canada about 6 years ago and on arrival in the colony adopted as his surname the English translation of his name, viz Nightingale, under which he was serving in the Canadian Forces. The deceased had been with the Colours about 2 years and had been in France a considerable time when he was, unfortunately, killed in action on 2 September. We offer the parents and family our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
