Roll of Honour. We regret that the name
of another well-known and popular Old Victorian, Lieutenant
Douglas Ambrose Seath of the Cameronians, must be added
to the already lengthy Roll of Honour. This gallant
officer was the son of the late Captain Seath and of
Mrs Seath of 2 Clarendon Road and was educated at Victoria
College from 1896-99. At the outbreak of war he was
serving in the Artists Rifles and later was gazetted
to 2nd Scottish Rifles (Cameronians). He proceeded to
the Front and being severely wounded returned to Jersey
on sick leave. Being anxious to get back to the Front
he, when fit, gladly returned to his Battalion in France
and unfortunately made the supreme sacrifice on 23 April
last. The sympathy of all our readers we feel sure is
extended to the mother and family who have lost a gallant
son and brother and to the friends who mourn a trusted
and true comrade.
