NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 7 February 1919
Roll of Honour. After having gallantly
served his country Lieutenant J Pipon of the RNVR unfortunately
died last Wednesday at Toronto in Canada. This gallant
officer was the grandson of the late General Pipon of
honoured memory, and youngest son of the late Mr J H
Pipon. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities he
received a commission in the RNVR and whilst on the
voyage to England from Canada his vessel was sunk by
enemy action. He fortunately escaped and later took
part in the memorable action at Ostend and Zeebrugge,
unhappily as a result of illness contracted on active
service he had to retire and return to Canada, and as
stated above, passed away on 5 February in his 26th
year. We tender the relatives abroad and the Misses
Pipon, his aunts, with whom he stayed whilst on leave
in the Island, our heartfelt sympathy.
