NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post of Tuesday 14 August 1917

Roll of Honour. We regret to learn that news has been received by Mrs Wilson of 50 Great Union Road to the effect that her husband, Private C Wilson of the Machine Gun Corps, has died of wounds at a Casualty Clearing Station in France. It will be remembered that a few days ago we published a paragraph stating that Private Wilson had been wounded and expressing the hope that better news would soon follow. Unfortunately, as so often has been the case in this terrible war, the injuries were of so serious a nature as to preclude recovery. We tender our sincere sympathy to the widow and family
