"Though there were very few passengers on the Mail Boat this morning animated scenes were witnessed on the quay. Lieutenant S Le G Cutler of D Company 3rd Battalion RMIJ was a passenger for England where he is joining the Army Service Corps and the men of the Company were determined not to let him leave the Island without showing him in what high regard he is held by them."

As part of this splendid early morning send off, his old Company marched down to Albert Pier where the Battalion's drum and fife band played 'Tipperary and other now world famous tunes'.

"As the vessel slipped her mooring the strains of Auld Lang Syne were just heard above the cheers of the Company. There were renewed when the Sarnia passed out of the pier heads, the band playing and the cheers being raised until the vessel was well out of the harbour."

We deeply regret having to announce that another gallant Jerseyman has just been added to the list of victims of the War. A telegram was received this afternoon bearing the sad news that Captain S Le G Cutler, son of Major Cutler of Queen Street, had been killed in action. ... The deceased officer, who was only 23, joined up in August 1914 and got his Captaincy some 12 months ago. He had a narrow escape from death only a week ago, his machine being riddled with bullets and brought down in flames.

As we stated on Friday last Captain S Le G Cutler was killed ina ction on 9 August. The late officer who was the son of Major & Mrs J.F. Cutler and grandson of Mr Philip Le Guyt of St Lukes, was an Old Victorian and at the outbreak of war served in the 3rd RMIJ. ... Only a few weeks ago he was on leave with his fiancee, Miss Katy de Faye of the VAD, who is nursing at a war hospital in Wales. To Major and Mrs Cutler, who are both on war service, and the other relatives we again tender our sincerest condolences.
