NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Wednesday 5 February 1919
Roll of Honour. Some time ago we stated
that Private A Maguire of the Wiltshire Regiment had
been reported missing on 21 March 1918. The relatives
have had several months of anxiety and now, unfortunately,
their worst fears have been confirmed by the receipt
of official news to the effect that the soldier was
killed on the above date. The late Private Maguire was
a son of Mrs Maguire of 3 Seale Street and was, before
leaving Jersey, a highly respected employee of Mr J
T Ferguson. To the mother and the widow, who resides
in England and who is left with three young children,
we offer our heartfelt condolences.
