Billets at Cornedo Vicentino.
A Brigade exercise was carried out to simulate the Brigade
supporting a British advance, and specifically to give troops practice in the
use of heliograph signalling and the movement of pack mules. For 10DWR this
involved one Company occupying high ground near Gobbi Bassi, west of Cornedo
Vicentino, and a party of troops moving 15 mules, supervised by a mounted
officer, north-west from Castelgomberto.
Pte. James Isaac King
(see 18th January), was,
for a second time, reported absent without leave.
A pension award was made in the case of the late Pte. Alfred Spencer (see 20th September 1917), who had been posted
‘missing in action’ on 20th September 1917; his widow, Selena, was awarded
13s. 9d. per week.
A similar award was made in the case of the late Pte. Albert Victor Wilcock (see 20th September 1917),
who had also been posted ‘missing in action’ on 20th September 1917;
his widow, Sylvia, was awarded 20s. 5d. per week for herself and her son.
