Billets at Grumolo and Montecchia di Crosara

The Battalion marched nine miles north-east to their former billets at Arzignano; the march route was via Brenton, but the transport moved by the more circuitous, but less steep route via Ronca and Montebello Vicentino.
Pte. Lewis Greenwood (see 22nd January 1918), serving with 3DWR at North Shields, was reported as having been, “Improperly dressed, ie wearing civilian boots in Bells Terrace about 10.45”; he would be confined to barracks for seven days.
Capt. Alfred Percy Harrison MC (see 23rd December 1918), serving with 3DWR at North Shields, appeared before a further Army Medical Board assembled at Tynemouth. The Board reported that the wound to his left foot “has improved slightly since last Board; still has corns on plantar aspect of great toe. Limited movements of the joint which is very much thickened and enlarged. He complains of stiffness and pain in his foot” and that the wound to his left calf “no longer constitutes a disability”; he was instructed to re-join 3DWR.
