NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Wednesday 3 April 1918
Roll of Honour. We regret to state that
Mr F B Pluck of Union Street has been officially informed
that his younger son, Sergeant Douglas Pluck of the
Royal Fusiliers, who was reported missing on 3 May 1917
is now presumed to have been killed on that date. The
late Sergeant served his apprenticeship at A de Gruchy
& Co and shortly afterwards left to take up an appointment
in London. At the outbreak of war he joined the Royal
Fusiliers, he being then 19, he proceeded to France
some time later and as stated above made the supreme
sacrifice in May last. We tender the bereaved family
our sincere sympathy.
