NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Tuesday 16 November 1915
Roll of Honour. Death of a Member of the
Jersey Contingent. Another name has to be added to Jersey’s
Roll of Honour, that of Rifleman William Herve of the
3rd Royal Irish Rifles, who died at Ballykinlar Camp,
Co Down on Sunday last. The deceased, who was only 23,
was the youngest son of Mr J Herve of Le Hougouillon,
St Martins, left the Island in April last to join the
Jersey Contingent at Vallyvonare. Owing to a severe
chill, the result of a drenching whilst on duty, he
was prevented from accompanying the Contingent to England
and was transferred to the 3rd Royal Irish Rifles for
home service, this being a great disappointment to him
as he was very eager to go to the Front. Unfortunately
the chill developed into something worse and he became
seriously ill. Towards the end of last week it was realised
that his case was hopeless and he passed away on Sunday
as stated. The funeral is taking place this afternoon
at Ballykinlar Chapel.
