NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 11 October 1918
Roll of Honour. We regret to chronicle
the death which took place through shell fire in France
on 2 October of Private Frederick Charles Roberts of
the York & Lancaster Regiment. The deceased soldier,
who was in his 34th year, was a native of St Martins
and was formerly employed by Reverend C W Balleine of
St Clements Rectory. He joined up about 18 months ago
and had been in France since last March. The Captain
in charge of the battery of the Regiment has written
a most sympathetic letter to the wife, who resides at
3 Melbourne Place, Bagot, informing her of her sad loss.
To the widow, nee Miss Blanche Laurens, who is left
with three children, we offer our sincere sympathy.
