Monday 8th July 1918

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

A new, temporary, Medical Officer, Lt. E.J. Fisher, joined the Battalion; presumably Capt. Norman Robert Davis (see 21^st June) was on leave. I am, as yet, unable to make a positive identification of Lt. Fisher.

Pte. Herbert Williams (see 13^th June) re-joined the Battalion following treatment for influenza. 

L.Cpl. Robert Hitchen (see 13^th June) relinquished, at his own request, his appointment as Lance Corporal and reverted to Private.

Pte. Frank Easterby (see 13^th June), serving at the Reinforcement Camp at Arquata Scrivia, departed for England on two weeks’ leave.

Pte. Charles William Long (see 7^th October 1915) was transferred to the Royal Army Service Corps.

Pte. Albert Edward White (see 20^th June), who had been wounded on 15^th June, was transferred from 62^nd General Hospital at Bordighera to 81^st General Hospital in Marseilles.

2Lt. Frederick Griggs MM (see 18^th June), who had been in England since having been kicked by a horse while serving in France with 2DWR, appeared before an Army Medical Board. The Board recorded the circumstances of the injury and added that “an X-Ray taken in France is said to have shown a fracture of coroneal process, but an X-Ray taken at Standish Hospital did not reveal any such fracture”. The injury was deemed to be “of a trivial nature” and Griggs was to be regarded as “incapacitated for six weeks”.
