Roll of Honour. It is with deep regret
that we chronicle the death which took place in action
in Mesopotamia on 9 February last of Corporal F C Wilson
of 2nd Battalion Kings Own Regiment. The deceased gallant
soldier married a Jersey lady, Miss Louisa Tyrell, who
resides at First Tower and he being a reservist promptly
joined up at the outbreak of hostilities. He served
in France, and being severely frost bitten returned
here on sick leave and about 12 months ago was ordered
to the Eastern scene of warfare, where, as stated above,
he was killed early in the month. The late Corporal
was 26 and was very popular and highly respected locally.
To the widow, who is left with two children, we tender
our sincere condolences.
