Canadian Reported Missing. We regret to learn that Private George Francis Trachy

is officially reported missing since 15 August. We hope to shortly hear news of
a reassuring character.
NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Tuesday 16 July 1918
Roll of Honour. Some
months ago we stated that Mr A Trachy of 52 St Saviours Road had received news
that his son, Private George Francis Trachy of the Canadian Grenadier Guards,
had been reported missing since 15 August 1917. More favourable news was hoped
for but as the months rolled by and nothing further was heard the relatives began
to expect the worst, and their fears have unfortunately been confirmed by an official
notification which states that the soldier is presumed to have made the supreme
sacrifice on the date mentioned above. The late gallant volunteer was 31 and was
highly respected in the Island, he was formerly employed by Mr E Le Quesne, the
plumber, and left for Canada some 13 years ago and was amongst the first volunteers
for the Canadian Grenadier Guards. He leaves a widow to whom, with the other relatives
here, we tender our heartfelt condolences.
