Monday 5th June 1916

Bouvigny Huts

A quiet day, with further training carried out.
Pte. Edmund Peacock (see 9th April) serving with 9DWR reported sick suffering from trench fever and was admitted to 52 Field Ambulance; he had originally been a member of Tunstill’s Company but had been invalided back to England having been wounded in November 1915 and subsequently posted to 9DWR. 
Pte. Joseph Bell (see 3rd March), serving with 51st Battalion, A.I.F., left Alexandria onboard the troopship “Ivernia”, bound for Marseilles. He was the elder brother of original Tunstill recruit Pte. William Irving Bell.

A payment of £3 13s. was authorised, being the amount outstanding in pay and allowances to the late L.Cpl. Joseph Fieldhouse (see 19th March), who had died of wounds in March; the payment would go to his widow, Eva.
