I see an article about wind power for Sark from 2024, and it says: The challenging thing is that the only way to get all the necessary supplies on Sark is through one of the two tunnels. So these tunnels define all the dimensions.

"The inland country of Jersey is notable for the charm of its rural lanes. Fresh green hedgerows and overarching trees give shaded vistas of rustic beauty. The photograph shows Vinchelez Lane through which one passes on the way to Plemont. The typically Norman arched gateway [on left] is in the walls of the old Manor House of Vinchelez de Bas. Above the arch are the arms of the De Carterets and the Dumaresqs with the date 1730." — From verso of Cigarette Card, "Vinchelez Lane, Jersey", George Arents Collection, New York Public Library

There is a public tree on the Ancestry website which has a photograph of the VC victory reception at Blandford Forum in 1918. He was born on 3rd Nov 1898. He married Ada Mary Louise Vauvert by licence at St Dunstan's, Edge Hill, Liverpool on 27th August 1921. At that time Jack gave his occupation as Soldier and was residing at the Recruiting Office, Old Haymarket. The VC database shows that Jack died whilst visiting relatives at Blandford Forum on 16th September 1970. His ashes are buried at St Andrew's Churchyard, St Helier, Jersey.
