Sunday 8th September 1918

In Brigade reserve in huts near Monte Pau.


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.


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.
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).
