Saturday 8th May 1915

Pte. Richard Butler (see 19^th September 1914) was disciplined for ‘smoking a cigarette, contrary to orders’; on the orders of Captain Tunstill he was sentenced to be confined to barracks for four days.

Pte. Joseph Gough was reported by 2Lt. Taylor (I am currently unable to make a positive identification of this officer) and Pte. Harry Widdup (see 7^th May) as having been “Drunk in his billet at 11am”; on the orders of Lt Col. Hugh John Bartholomew (see 4^th May) he would be confined to barracks for ten days. Jospeh Gough was a 48 year-old foundry labourer; originally from Ireland he had been living in Keighley and was a widower (his wife, Mary, had died in 1912), with four children. He had previous military service but the details are unknown.
