NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Saturday 2 March 1918
Death of a Jersey Canadian Soldier. News
has been received by Mr & Mrs Walter Le Seelleur,
late of Le Villot, St Martins, of the death of their
eldest son Private Hedley Le Seelleur, which occurred
at a military hospital in Canada a few days ago as a
result of pneumonia. The deceased, who was 21, left
for Canada some 5 years ago and on the outbreak of war
he volunteered for service, but was medically rejected,
but anxious to enter the Army he volunteered over and
over again and was finally accepted six months ago and
was still in a training battalion at the time of his
death. We would extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family.
A bookkeeper by trade, he first enlisted in the CEF
on 21 Jan 1916 in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada; he
again enlisted on 19 Sept 1917 in Saint John, New Brunswick.
