NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 25 May 1917
Roll of Honour. We learn with regret that
Private A H Warren, 2/8 London Regiment was killed in
action on 16 May. The news was received by Mr &
Mrs Warren, who reside in Clearview Street, yesterday.
Showing the high esteem in which the young Jerseyman
was held, not only the Major Commanding the Company
but one of the Subaltern officers and a comrade of the
deceased soldier wrote to the parents expressing sympathy,
the letters stating that he was shot by an enemy sniper
while he was on special duty and that he had been buried
by his comrades where he fell the following day. Private
Warren was well known in Jersey as he was for a number
of years a telegraphic messenger at the GPO and obtained
the rank of Acting Postman, subsequently being given
a regular "walk" and before joining up 2 years
ago he was delivering in the Gorey district. The young
soldier, who was 22, had another brother serving while
it will be remembered that still another brother, who
was in the Royal Irish Rifles, also made the supreme
sacrifice some little time ago. To the parents, thus
for the second time bereaved during this cruel war,
we tender our sincere sympathy.
