There was an improvement in the weather and working parties
were again found for IV Corps School.
Pte. Stanley Basil
Studd was admitted via 70th Field Ambulance at Bruay and 23rd
Casualty Clearing Station at Lozinghem to 11th Stationary Hospital in Rouen; he
was suffering from ‘debility’. He was an original member of the Battalion,
having enlisted in Leeds in September 1916 while aged 19 and working as a
bricklayer.
A number of men from Tunstill’s Company went home on one
week’s leave. For most of them this would be their first home leave since arriving
in France in August 1915; many others were still waiting for their first chance
to return home. Among those known to have been back in England were Ptes. Kit Ralph (see 21st August 1915) and Sidney Hoar (see 14th
September 1915).
Pte. Jacob Sweeting
(see 7th April) who had
left a month earlier, suffering from german measles, re-joined the Battalion.
