NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Tuesday 17 August 1915

Roll of Honour. Yet another Jerseyman has made the supreme sacrifice, Sapper Adolphus Pezet, who was the only son of Mr Pezet of 15 Ann Street and had latterly been residing with his wife and child in Pembroke, South Wales. He joined the Royal Engineers soon after the outbreak of war and some months ago was reported missing. The family had for some time been hoping that favourable news would come through, but official intimation has now been received that the Sapper was killed in action at Neuve Chapelle. To his widow and family we beg to tender our sincere sympathy.

 

 

At 8pm every evening, the Last Post is played inside the Menin Gate in remembrance.
