In the evening the Battalion marched a further five miles north
via Carre to Caltrano where they crossed the River Astico and then turned west
for a further mile to billets at San Donna Camisino.
Pte. John Foster
(see 11th July), serving in
France with 2/7th DWR, was transferred from 13th
Convalescent Depot at Trouville to ‘I’ Infantry Base Depot at Etaples. However,
after just four days he would again be reported sick and readmitted to one of
the convalescent hospitals at Trouville.
Pte. Ernest Booth (see 20th September 1917), who had been in England since having been wounded in September 1917, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of his wounds; he was assessed as having suffered a 40% disability and was awarded an Army pension of £1 7s. 6d. for one month, reducing thereafter to 13s. 9d. per week and to be reviewed after one year.

A payment of £1 10s. 11d. was
authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances to the late Pte. Stephen Walsh (see 22nd April 1917), who had been killed in action in
April 1917; the payment would go to his father, John. It is unclear why there
had been such a protracted delay in dealing with Pte. Walsh’s affairs.
