Following three weeks’ treatment for malaria, Pte. James Wilson (see 27^th August), serving with 728^th Employment Company, based at Hitchin, Herts., was discharged from hospital in Cambridge and returned to duty. 

Following their recent exchange of correspondence, Ernest Webb, brother of Pte. Edward Percy Webb (see 11^th September), who had been missing in action since the trench raid on 26th August, again wrote to the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment in York, “On behalf of my mother and also myself I thank you for your letter reporting my brother, Pte. E.P. Webb, 25918, as missing. My mother is at present too upset to write herself. I should be very grateful if anything more does come to hand you would be good enough to drop me a line. Kindly express to all concerned our appreciation of their expressions of sympathy. Your enclosures as stated duly received. Would you be so good as to note that my father died in March last. I presume my brother omitted to make the necessary alteration to his pay book”.

A payment of £31 2s. 6d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances to the late Pte. Ernest Haslam (see 21^st June), who had been killed during the trench raid on 21^st June; the payment would go to his father, Henry.
