About Pte. Philip Ebenezer Jessop

Died in the ambulance on the way to Hope, Nelson on March 19th 1915. Also remembered on the Memorial at Richmond and in the Scriptorium at Nelson College.

Private Philip Jessop, a member of the Expeditionary Force at Samoa, who had been invalided home, died on his way to the Hospital yesterday evening. He had been staying with his sister, Mrs. B. Stratford, at the Croixelles for the benefit of his health. As he did not improve, it was decided to bring him to the Hospital, where he had previously been under treatment. A nurse was sent down on Wednesday, to accompany him, and he reached Nelson by launch yesterday. He was in a critical condition, and died in the ambulance at about 7 o'clock, before the Hospital was reached, it is thought from heart failure. The deceased was a son of Mr. Ebenezer Jessop, of Hope. Source: Colonist (20 March 1915, p. 4).
