Jersey Family's Double Bereavement. On
Thursday last we announced the death which took place
at the Brighton Road Military Hospital of Private H
G Robert of the Jersey Battalion, youngest son of Mr
& Mrs A Robert of Rozel, and we now regret to state
that another son, Frank, who was serving in England
has passed away. A telegram was sent to the soldier's
wife asking her to cross, but unfortunately, owing to
illness, this was impossible. We tender the bereaved
family our sincere condolences.

Roll of Honour. Yet another Jersey soldier
has died in England as a result of the prevailing influenza
epidemic. We refer to Private F P Robert of the Wiltshire
Regiment who worked for some 14 years for Mr J T Ferguson
as a plasterer. He joined up about four months ago and
was in training at Chatham, unfortunately he contracted
septic pneumonia and died on 3 November. He was buried
with full Military Honours on Friday last, his widow,
sister and brother-in-law attending the interment. We
offer the bereaved relatives our heartfelt condolences.
