NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Saturday 20 February 1915
Roll of Honour. News has been received
in the Island that Private Thomas Revell of the 1st
East Surrey Regiment has been killed in action. His
death occurred on 4 February when he was in action with
his Battalion in Flanders. Much sympathy will naturally
be felt for his widow, a native of Jersey, and the two
little children left behind. Private Revell, who before
he left to rejoin his Regiment, resided with his family
in Springfield Road, was 33 and had been out of the
Army for five years and was in the employ of Messrs
Terry Brothers of the Esplanade, by whom he was greatly
respected. Immediately on the outbreak of war he rejoined
his Battalion and had enjoyed excellent health up to
the last time a letter was received from him by his
wife. To the widow and fatherless little ones we would
tender our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
