NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Wednesday 2 August 1916
Roll of Honour. No news had been received
of Private Thomas Hall of the 9th Yorkshire Regiment
for about four weeks and his mother, who resides at
40 Belmont Road, has now received the sad information
from the officer commanding his Company that the soldier
was killed in action on 5 July during an attack on the
German trench known as the Horseshoe. The officer states
that Private Hall, who was 20, was a thorough good soldier
in every respect and will be greatly missed. The deceased
had been at the Front for a year and previous to joining
the Colours was for some 2 years in the employ of Mr
H Randall of Clare Street. We offer his mother and the
other members of the family our sincere sympathy.
