NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Thursday 18 October
1917
Roll of Honour. Mrs Marais of St Brelades
has received the sad news that her son, W Marais who
was serving in the Royal Naval Division, was instantaneously
killed by a shell on 11 October and buried near Ypres.
The late Private Marais was a splendid fellow and his
comrades state that though they had only known him a
short time he had endeared himself to all. We tender
the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.
