Extracts from The Jersey at Home, Summer 1965 – Misc. Stories
Obituary
The death occurred suddenly at his residence, Le Vivier, St. Martin, Jersey, on September 6th, of Captain R. J. B. Bolitho. Capt. Bolitho who was 75, was a soldier, airman, sailor and pioneer of military wireless and also a keen breeder of Jersey cattle.
Capt. Bolitho married Miss Roselle Lemprière, a daughter of the late Jurat R. R. Lemprière, Seigneur of Rosel, and they subsequently made their home at Rozel Manor, St. Martin. It was here that Captain Bolitho built up a fine herd of Jersey’s at the Manor Farm, and for several years his animals featured strongly in the Island Milk Records and also at the parochial and island cattle shows. He was one of the founders and directors of “The Island Cow,” the magazine devoted to the island breed during the early 1930s, and which ceased publication around 1936. The magazine was in its day considered to be an excellent publication of which the Captain was justifiably proud.
Following the Second World War, Captain Bolitho was managing director of the now defunct "Jersey Morning News."
