Roll of Honour. Yet another Jerseyman,
Private Henry William Wherry of the Dorset Regiment,
who was taken prisoner by the Turks at Kut al Amara

of the town. The late Private Wherry was the only son
of Mr Wherry of 7 Lempriere Street and was 24. He had
served for some 6 years in the Army and died in September
