action, aged 22 years. NEWS ITEM in Jersey
Evening Post of Tuesday 5 November 1918 Roll of
Honour. It is with regret we announce the death which took place in action on
9 October after over 2 years service in France of Arthur C Lewis of the Canadian
Field Artillery. The deceased gallant soldier, who was in his 22nd year, was the
only son of Mrs J Morrison (nee Lewis) late of 8 Windsor Villas, Val Plaisant
and now of the USA. He left Jersey in 1912 and answered the call of the Motherland
early in 1915, arriving in France a few months later. The deceased soldier, who
was very popular and highly respected by scores of acquaintances and friends in
the Island, was last on leave about eight months ago. A Bombardier of his Battery
writing to a local friend states that he was killed instantaneously and conveys
the sympathy of the boys of his section. We tender the bereaved mother and other
relatives our heartfelt condolences.
Commemorated on memorial window in Gouray
Church
