NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Thursday 10 June 1915
Another Jersey Lad Killed in the Dardanelles
- Mr H J Underhill's Double Loss. In the middle of the
day yesterday Mr H J Underhill of Victoria Street received
the sad news that his son Private Richard Underhill
of the Light Horse Regiment Australian Contingent had
been killed on 28 (sic) May last in the fighting in
the Dardanelles. Private Underhill who was last in the
Island some 2 years ago was 22. His twin brother James
enlisted with him and is actually serving in the Dardanelles.
This is the second loss Mr Underhill has sustained since
the war started, another son Clarence having gone down
when HMS Good Hope foundered. To the bereaved family
we offer our sincere sympathy.
