of Thursday 31 October 1918
Death of ex-Sergeant Whittle. One of the
original members of the Jersey contingent passed away
last evening about 6 o'clock in the person of ex-Sergeant
T J D Whittle of Pomona Road. Discharged from the Army
some time ago as a result of severe wounds received
in action, the deceased had since been employed as a
clerk at the Jersey Weighbridge, where his unfailing
courtesy made him popular with all. He was a former
member of the St Marks Company Boys Brigade and was
a prominent and highly esteemed member of the Jersey
Musical Union. To the widow and her two children we
offer our sincere condolences.
