Tuesday 21st November 1916

Brigade Reserve, west of Zillebeke Bund

The raiding party from the previous evening re-joined the remainder of the Battalion.


L.Cpl. Maurice Bannister (see 8th November), who had been in England since having been wounded in October, was discharged from Keighley War Hospital; the details of his posting are unknown.

Capt. Gilbert Tunstill (see 20th November) appeared before a Medical Board assembled at the Military Hospital, Carlisle. The Board found that, “he has now practically recovered from the above-named disability (twist of right knee joint)”. He was deemed unfit for general service for a further month, but fit to resume light duties at home. As a result he reported, same day, for duty with 3DWR at North Shields and was attached to 83rd Training Reserve Battalion, based at Brighton Road Schools, Gateshead.
