ISLE OF WIGHT MERCURY
Friday, December 18, 1914 Page 5 KILLED IN ACTION Corporal Reginald George Squibb, brother of Miss Squibb, of Jasmine, Tulse Hill, was killed in action at the battle of Ypres. He belonged to the Hampshire Regiment. Deceased's home was at Sandford, Godshill. Before re-joining his regiment, he was in a fairly large way of business in Londonderry. He leaves a young wife of 22. Our deepest sympathy will be with Miss Squibb and the family in the loss of a dear relative and a gallant soldier. Corpl. Squibb was shot through the head.
