Roll of Honour. We regret to state that
Captain Harold Keith Simonet of the Sherwood Foresters,
youngest son of the late Mr William Simonet of Radier,
Grouville, has died of wounds received in action. The
gallant officer, who was educated at Victoria College,
had been on active service since 1914 and some time
back was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in
action. The deceased officer was a brother of Major
K W L Simonet who was killed in Mesopotamia some 2 years
ago. He leaves a widow, sister and brother to mourn
his loss, to whom we would tender our heartfelt sympathy.
