Saturday 11th May 1918

Billets at Cornedo Vicentino.

Pte. Louis Charles Preen (see 2nd May), who had been in confinement for the previous ten days having been absent without leave between 25th April and 2nd May, was tried by Field General Court Martial. He was found guilty of being absent without leave and escaping from confinement and was sentenced to 90 days’ Field Punishment no.1. On review by Brig. Genl. Lambert (see 10th May), his sentence would be reduced to 60 days.
Sgt. Harry Clark (see 26th February) reported at no.19 Officer Cadet Battalion at Pirbright to begin his officer training; the reason for the long delay since his having returned to England is unknown.

Pte. James Linfoot (see 9th June 1916), who had been serving in England (details unknown) since June 1916, was transferred to the RAF as an Air Mechanic, Class 3.

A pension award was made in the case of the late Pte. John Driver (see 25th March), who had been killed in action in October 1917; his widow, Mabel, was awarded 13s. 9d. per week.
