Young Jersey Soldier Dies in England.
It is with deep regret we chronicle the fact that a
young Jersey soldier, Private Alfred (Fred) Pallot of
the 3rd Battalion Essex Regiment, eldest son of Mr Pallot
of 61 Old Trinity Road, has died at Dovercourt in Essex
after a brief illness. The deceased was in his 25th
year and previous to joining the Royal Engineers served
in D Company of the 3rd Battalion RMIJ, and was a highly
respected employee in the Machinery Department at the
Destructor. He was latter transferred to the Essex Regiment
and, as stated above, has died and been buried in England.
The deceased's Company Commander writing to the father
states that the soldier was buried on Tuesday last with
full Military Honours, the bearers being some of his
special friends. He adds "I might say that your
son bore a very good character in the Regiment and was
very popular with all his comrades. He always did all
his duties very willingly and was altogether a very
good soldier". We offer the bereaved family our
sincere condolences.
