NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening
Post of Saturday 19 October 1918
Roll of Honour. As we go to press we regret
to learn of the death which took place during the fighting
in France on 9 October of Clarence D Nicolle of the
Royal Naval Division. The deceased, who was very popular
and highly respected, will be remembered as a former
Sergeant and champion shot of the RMIJ, he was latterly
manager of Mr C S Bailhache's establishment in Charing
Cross and joining the Royal Naval Division had shown
such efficiency and attention to duty that at the time
of his death he was Acting Sergeant Major. The gallant
soldier was a son of Mr E Nicolle, a well known municipal
employee, and a year of so ago married Miss Elliott,
who is left with one child to mourn his loss. We tender
the bereaved widow and other members of the family our
sincere sympathy feeling that in this we are joined
by all who knew the sterling character of the deceased.
