Tuesday 1st June 1920

Pte. Charles Clear (see 26^th January), serving with the 2^nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of sickness contracted whilst in service (details unclear); he was awarded an Army pension of 16s. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

A review of the pension award made to Ernest Wilson (28985) (see 20^th June 1918), who had been discharged from the Army in June 1918, led to his pension being reduced to 10s. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

Monday 31st May 1920

Fred Atkinson (see 2^nd March 1919), who had been transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z in March 1919, wrote to the Infantry Records Office in York, “As I find myself unable to follow my employment  and am not in receipt of any pension I have been instructed to apply to you for A.F. Z 22. I understand that this will enable me to have an examination before a medical officer and, as my circumstances are very straitened and daily growing worse, I trust that you will oblige me at your earliest convenience”. The outcome of his request is unknown.

There is nothing to report regarding the officers and men of 10DWR.

Saturday 29th May 1920

In reply to recent confirmation from the War Office that he was to be regarded as having ‘relinquished his commission on grounds of ill-health caused by wounds’, Maj. Robert Harwar Gill DSO (see 26^th May) again wrote, “I am under the impression that a wounded officer in hospital cannot be gazetted as relinquishing his commission until discharged from hospital. As I was expected to return to Millbank Hospital on 28^th and probably to undergo one or two more operations, I am not discharged and should, I think, be entitled to my rank and pay until such time as I am’. A note which would be made on Maj. Gill’s records at the War Office on 5^th June would confirm that the appeal was to be rejected and that the War Office decision would stand; this was to be communicated to Maj. Gill (details unknown).
