Pte. William Green
(23560) was admitted via 39th Casualty Clearing Station to 62nd
General Hospital at Bordighera, near Ventimiglia; he was suffering from ‘venereal
disease – not yet diagnosed’. He had previously served with 2DWR, 9DWR and
5DWR, but, in the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a
positive identification of this man or to establish when, or under what
circumstances, he had joined 10DWR.
Sgt. Harry Singleton
(see 9th June), who had
been taken prisoner in France in April while serving with 50th
Field Ambulance, was moved to a camp in Germany; he would later recall that, “Things
began to improve when I got settled, as we got some British food from the
British Help Committee in Friedrichsfeld”. He was the brother of Robert Singleton (see 14th June).
Pte. Fred Kershaw
(see 30th August), who had
been wounded ten days’ previously while serving in France with 2/7th
DWR, was evacuated to England from 12th General Hospital at Rouen,
onboard the Hospital Ship Gloucester Castle.
On arrival in England he would be admitted to Bagthorpe Military Hospital in Nottingham.
