Killed in Action
Readers will regret to learn that official news was received on Wednesday by Lady Shiffner, 57 Brunswick Square, Brighton, stating that her husband, Second Lieutenant Sir John Bridger Shiffner, Bart, Was killed in action in France on September 24th.
Deceased, who was 19 years of age last August, was educated at Wellington College and privately under the tuition of Mr Bent Parkfield, Haywards Heath. In 1915 he joined the London Scottish Cadet Corps to which he was attached about 12 months and afterwards passed through Sandhurst. He joined the Royal Sussex Regiment last May, and during September was drafted to France, where he remained at the base for about 10 days. He entered the fighting line on September 23rd and sad to relate made the supreme sacrifice the following day.
The Baronetcy was created in 1818 and deceased, who was sixth of the line, succeeded his father in April 1914. In June last he married Sybil Helen Gibbons, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Sills Clifford Gibbons, of Scaynes Hill. Sir John Bridger Shiffner formerly resided at Coombe Place, Hamsey, and later at Bevern Bridge House, Cahiley, and quite recently removed to Brighton.
The greatest sympathy is extended to Lady Shiffner, also the Dowager Lady Shiffner, who for the last 6 months has been a nurse at the Royal Pavilion Red Cross Hospital, Brighton and is at present engaged in the artificial limb department of the same institution."
