Tuesday 12th August 1919


Pte. William Mottershead (see 22nd July), serving with the ‘Details Battalion’ of the Dukes, was transferred to 13DWR.
Cpl. Harry Wood MM (see 16th July) underwent a further operation at Nell Lane Military Hospital, West Didsbury, Manchester; it would be reported that ‘Sequestra (bone fragments) removed; packed with B.I.P’. In subsequent weeks it would be reported that, ‘Wound looks cleaner’.

Payment of a £4 war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. James Bradley (11737) (see 12th February 1916), who had been killed in action in November 1915; the payment would go to his grandmother, Mary Markham.
