Roll of Honour. We regret to record the
death of a Jersey Anzac, Private J Leonard Wells of
the Australian Imperial Force, who was killed in action
on 24 August last in his 27th year. The deceased soldier
was a twin son of Mr & Mrs E C Wells, formerly of
Jersey and now of West Australia, and a nephew of Mr
& Mrs J B Burton of Gloucester Street. He was educated
at St Marks Boys School and was a member of the St Marks
Boys Brigade, and left with his parents for Australia
about 11 years ago. He had been in France for some 9
months. We tender the bereaved relatives our heartfelt
sympathy.
