Charles Jarvis Lieutenant West Kents
Intimation of the death of Lieutenant Charles Jarvis, West Kents, was received in Tayport on Thursday, he having been killed in action. Lieutenant Jarvis was a son of the late Captain Jarvis, well known in Tayport and Dundee in shipping circles, and returned home from Chili at the outbreak of the war and joined King Edward’s Horse. He received a commission, and was posted to the West Kents. He was well known and highly respected in Tayport, where his mother is still living.
