The weather remained fine and the Battalion training
programme continued, with the focus on Company and Platoon level training.
Lt. Dick Bolton (see 4th April) was admitted
to 70th Field Ambulance, suffering from influenza.
John Hitchin of Long Preston, the father of John Henry Hitchin (see 14th March) received news
that his son was being treated, following an operation for acute appendicitis,
at Queen Alexandra Military Hospital, Millbank, London. Hitchin had been the
first man to volunteer following Gilbert Tunstill’s appeal. However,
having been commissioned he had found himself in financial difficulties and had
been absent without leave since 29th December 1915 and had been
stripped of his commission in February.
