Friday, 1st January 1915

Support for the men of Tunstill’s Company who had returned from leave to resume their training at Aldershot continued, with the weekly edition of the Craven Herald reporting that the Cowling Distress and Belgian Relief Committee, “have this week sent to the Cowling recruits stationed at Aldershot a number of under vests”.

Pte. William Baxter (see 15^th December 1914) was reported as not having returned from leave; he would report back to the Battalion at 8am on the 6^th January; on the orders of Captain Lewis Ernest Buchanan (see 16^th November) he would be confined to barracks for five days.
