At home in Huddersfield, Mary Ann Collings, wife of Pte. James Collings, gave birth to the couple’s second child, a boy who would be named James Henry. James Collings was an original member of the Battalion. The couple had married in April 1914 when Mary was pregnant with their first child.
A payment was issued to the relatives of Pte. Walter Isherwood (see 8th November 1914) who had died from pneumonia whilst in training with Tunstill’s Company. A sum of £2 19s 10d was due from his army pay; 14s 11d went to his mother and the remainder in equal shares of 7s 6d to brothers George, Thomas, James, Edwin (who was also serving with Tunstill’s Company) and Albert and sister Mary.
