Billets at Grumolo and Montecchia di Crosara

Ptes. George Bell (see 7^th May 1918), Daniel Mackenzie (see 1^st September 1918), Joe Noons (see 17^th June 1918), Isaac Robinson (see 29^th May 1918) and Walter Umpleby (see 7^th August 1917) departed for England on two weeks’ leave.

Pte. Walter Dey (see 15^th December 1918), who was on leave in England, was demobilized.

Pte. William Hissett (see 29^th November 1918), who had been posted back to England from 9DWR six weeks’ previously, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Pte. Daniel Nicholls was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had been an original member of 10DWR but at some point, details unknown, he had been transferred to 2^nd (Garrison) Battalion, King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish any more detail about his military service.


An increase was authorised in the pension award which had been made in the case of the late Pte. Thomas Henry Hanson (see 31^st December 1917), who had been killed in action in June 1917; his widow, Sarah, was now to receive £1 3s. 5d. per week, rather than the 18s. 9d. she had received hitherto.
