Sunday 26th January 1919

Billets at Grumolo and Montecchia di Crosara

2Lt. James Henry Midgley (see 27^th October 1918), L.Cpl. Benjamin Tetley (see 18^th January) and Ptes. William Atkinson (25980) (see 18^th January), Jesse Ferns (see 18^th January), Robert Hitchen (see 18^th January), William Kershaw (18282) (see 18^th January), Joseph Pickles (see 18^th January), Sidney Powdrill (see 18^th January), Thomas Alfred Simpson (see 18^th January), Harold Wall (see 18^th January) and Herbert Willoughby (see 18^th January) were posted to England to be demobilized. Tetley, Ferns, Hitchen, Kershaw, Pickles, Simpson, Wall and Willoughby would be formally demobilized from Clipstone; Atkinson from Prees Heath; and Powdrill from Grantham.

Pte. John Malcolm Starbuck (see 5^th January 1918) was also posted back to England. It is unclear whether he was simply posted back in preparation for demobilization or for dental treatment, as he would subsequently have a claim rejected for an army pension for ‘defective teeth, aggravated by military service’.

A/Sgt. Thomas Anthony Swale (see 27^th November 1918), who had been in England since having been wounded on 27^th October 1918, was posted to 3DWR at North Shields.

Pte. Fred Jackson (12367) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had been an original member of 10DWR but at some point (date and details unknown) had transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish any further details of his service.
