NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Saturday 4 November 1916
Roll of Honour. We regret to announce
that another young Jerseyman, Arthur Jack Mackay, the
younger son of Mr William Mackay, Collector of Customs,
and Mrs Mackay of Limassol, Cyprus, and grandson of
the late W Mackay of Gorey, has made the supreme sacrifice.
This brave soldier, who was 21, came from Cyprus only
a few months ago to join the London Scottish. He proceeded
with his Regiment to France where earlier this week
he was shot whilst on sentry duty. Arthur Mackay was
for many years a boarder at Oxenford House School and
made many friends who will hear with regret of his untimely
decease. We offer the relatives our sincere sympathy
in their bereavement.
