NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Wednesday 26 September 1917
Jersey Family's Double Loss. Some weeks
ago we announced the death in action of Rifleman Vibert
of the Royal Irish Rifles, son of Mr & Mrs George
Vibert of 3 Elizabeth Villas, First Tower, we then stated
that another brother Rifleman John Vibert also of the
Royal Irish Rifles had been missing since 6 September
1916 and we now chronicle, with sincere regret, the
fact that the Army Council have been regretfully constrained
to conclude that his death took place about that time.
The late Rifleman John Vibert would have been 22 last
March and previous to volunteering with his brother
for the original Jersey Company was employed by Mr Humphreys
the butcher. He was last in the Island about Christmas
1915. The family who have been so tragically bereaved
of two sons we feel sure will have the full sympathy
of our readers in their sorrow.
