Roll of Honour. Another gallant Jersey
sailor. Philip Tachon of the Royal Navy, has been called
to make the supreme sacrifice. This son of the sea was
serving on a vessel which was in a collision on 15 October
and unfortunately he was drowned. He was in his 23rd
year and leaves a widow and one child to mourn his loss,
to whom, with his mother, who resides at Gorey, we tender
our sincere condolences.
