In huts and tents at Club Camp, west of Granezza.

The Battalion returned to the support positions which they had previously occupied (see 25^th May), south-east of Cesuna, on the extreme left of the Divisional front.

2Lt. John Davis MM (see 12^th July 1917), who had been on light duties with 3DWR in England since having been wounded on 7^th June 1917, appeared before a further Army Medical Board. The Board reported that, “There is no improvement. He has lately had influenza during which he states the usual ‘pains’ were very much worse than elsewhere in his injured arm, and he also states that the grip of his hand was practically lost for four days … The arm appears to be weaker and the grip lessened since his last Board. This is due apparently to the superadded influenza temporarily aggravating his neuritis. Garrison duty in a warm climate is recommended.” He was instructed to rejoin 3DWR.

Pte. James Wilson (see 29^th June), who was on leave prior to joining 728^th Employment Company, based at Hitchin, Herts., was admitted to the Military Hospital in Lancaster, suffering from a recurrence of the symptoms of malaria.
