Family's Double Loss - Sub Lieutenant G J Le Seelleur Killed in Action.
It
is with deep regret we announce that Captain & Mrs J M Le Seelleur of Haute
Place, St Peter's have received official information from the Lord Commissioners
of the Admiralty that their third son, Sub Lieutenant Gordon J Le Seelleur, RNVR,
was killed in operation in France on 10th inst.
The late officer,
who was in his 24th year, had been in France some time and was highly respected
amongst all ranks.
This is the family's second loss, another
son, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, having made the supreme sacrifice in a naval
engagement earlier in the war.
We tender the parents, who
have another son in the services, our great sympathy in the loss they have sustained.
Brother of Hedley
and John
Thomas Le Seeleur.
