NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Wednesday 24
May 1916
Roll of Honour - Sergeant of the Jersey
Company Dies of Wounds. Another well known and popular
member of the Jersey Company 7th Battalion Royal Irish
Rifles, Sergeant Frank Turner, has given his life for
his King and Country. From the meagre information received
it appears that the Sergeant was one of those engaged
in front of the trenches on Sunday 14 May and was wounded
in the legs and arms. His injuries from the start were
regarded as serious and the unfortunate soldier passed
away on the way to hospital. The late Sergeant was formerly
a member of D Company of the Town Battalion and volunteered
for service with the Overseas Company. On 17 February
last year he was married to Miss Le Filliastre of St
Brelades. He was in his 29th year and his decease is
sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends. To
the young widow and the other members of the family
we beg to offer our sincere condolences.
