Death of a Jersey Soldier. On Sunday week
Mrs John Vibert of Ville Bagot, St Ouen received a notification
from the Records Office of the Dorset Regiment, in which
her son Private J F Vibert was serving, stating that
he was lying dangerously ill of dysentery in Mesopotamia.
Today she received a telegram from the military authorities
stating that he had passed away on 21 December. The
deceased soldier joined up some few months ago and had
only recently been sent out to Mesopotamia. He was 24
and before joining up he had been in the employ of Mr
J B Le Quesne of Fair View, St Johns. To the bereaved
mother of this young Jersey soldier we tender our sincere
sympathy in her sorrow.
