NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 4 May 1917
Roll of Honour. The many local friends
of Sergeant Henry (Harry) L Sohier, a popular young
soldier who was serving in the Devon Regiment, will
regret to hear that he made the supreme sacrifice on
14 April last. The gallant Sergeant was the son of Mr
& Mrs L J Sohier of the Victoria Hotel, St Peter
and father is now doing his bit in the Royal Defence
Corps. The late Sergeant Sohier joined the Devons shortly
before the outbreak of war and being a smart soldier
and keenly interested in his work quickly received promotion.
For a time he was engaged training the New Army and
later proceeded to the Front where he proved to be of
a fearless disposition. He has now, unfortunately given
his life for King and Country. We tender the family
our sincere sympathy.
