NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Friday 27 December 1918
Roll of Honour. Ex-Centenier Francis
Hamon of Portinfer, St Ouens, and Mrs Hamon have received
the sad news of the death of their eldest son, Private
Francis Hamon of the Canadian Field Artillery, which
occurred on 23 December at New Brunswick in Canada.
The deceased, who was in his 21st year, left Jersey
in the Spring of 1914 to take up employment in Canada
as clerk to Messrs Robin, Jones & Whitman Ltd and
joined up some 6 months ago on attaining his 20th birthday.
On Thursday of last week a telegram was received by
his parents stating that he was seriously ill with influenza
and on Monday a second message conveyed the sad news
that the illness had had a fatal termination. Had all
been well young Hamon was to return to Jersey next summer
and his parents had been eagerly looking forward to
seeing him again. We tender our sympathy to the bereaved
father and mother and other members of the family.
Notice of Death appears in Jersey Evening
