NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Monday 6 May 1918
Roll of Honour. As we briefly stated in
our special edition last Saturday Mrs Veler of Route
a la Vierge, St Peter has received a letter from Private
G F Romeril of the Hampshire Regiment stating that her
son, Private Peter Veler of the same unit, has been
killed in action by a sniper. Mrs Veler's family have
certainly suffered during the war, another son, Sergeant
John Veler of the Dorset Regiment who was awarded the
Military Medal some time ago, is now at Eastbourne Hospital
and has had his left arm amputated owing to severe injuries;
another son, Gunner Frank Veler of the Royal Artillery,
is at Bedford Hospital suffering from gas poisoning,
whilst another son, Private Joseph Veler has been a
prisoner of war since August 1914, and a son-in-law,
Louis Mobray of the French Infantry, has been missing
since 31 October 1914. We tender the family our sincere
sympathy.
