NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Wednesday 26 December 1917

Jerseyman Dangerously Ill. The many friends of Private G Moignard, who arrived in South Africa only quite recently, will regret to learn that his wife, who resides at Sandybrook, St Peter has received a telegram stating that he is lying in the General Hospital in Dar es Salaam dangerously ill with dysentery. We hope the next news will be of a reassuring character.

NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Monday 31 December 1917

Roll of Honour. On Wednesday last we stated that Mrs Moignard of Sandybrook had received news that her husband, Private G Moignard, was lying dangerously ill at Dar es Salaam and we now regretfully chronicle the news of this soldier's death from dysentery. The late soldier was 35 and left the Island after his draft leave on August Bank Holiday. He had only been in German (now British) East Africa for one month. We tender the widow and other relatives our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
