Saturday 31st July 1915


In Pontefract, Pte. Harry Holmes (see 8th February), who was on final embarkation leave (see 19th July) from 10DWR, was married to Alice Talbot; the couple already had six-month old son. Harry was due to return to Bramshott on 4th August, but in actual fact would not report back until 1.45am on 6th August, as a result of which he was ordered to forfeit three days’ pay. He had previously had minor brushes with military discipline, having been reported for being absent from church parade and for irregular conduct on parade.

Sgt. Harry Singleton, brother of original Tunstill recruit Robert Singleton (see 28th June),serving with RAMC, arrived in France.
