NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of
Friday 27 July 1917
Roll of Honour. It is with great regret
we chronicle the death which took place in Mesopotamia
on 13 July last of Sergeant Harold George Priestwood
of the Royal Field Artillery. The deceased soldier was
the second son of the late Mr W T Priestwood and a nephew
of Sergeant Major Priestwood of West Park Avenue and
had served in the Artillery for several years. He was
27 and was highly respected and very popular, not only
in the service but amongst a very large circle of friends
and acquaintances in this Island. The deceased soldier
has a brother also in the Artillery on active service.
We tender the relatives our sincere sympathy in their
bereavement.
