Most of Tunstill’s recruits returned to their homes on
Saturday evening and spent Sunday with their friends and family, but 35 of them
“from the more distant parts of the district” were billeted in Settle at
Dickinson’s Temperance Hotel and at the Naked Man Hotel. “They were hospitably
entertained at night by Messrs. Moore, Butterworth, W. Dawson and T. Harger”.
Most of the men attended Settle Church and both the Conservative and Liberal
Clubs were also thrown open for their use.
Menawhile, on Sunday morning the Grassington recruits took
part in a Church Parade in Linton Church, when the Rev. J. Leighton, the
Rector, in a moving address, thanked the men for their patriotic action, and
urged then to be a credit to themselves, to their homes, and to the British
Army.
