Sunday 9th February 1919

Billets at Arzignano

Ptes. Tim Helliwell (see 14^th December 1918), Frank Tucker (see 23^rd September 1918) and Frank Wood MM (see 17^th November 1918) completed and signed their ‘Statement as to disability’ forms, which were a precursor to their being posted back to England. The completed forms, which confirmed that they did not claim to have suffered any disability in service, were witnessed, for Helliwell and Wood by Lt. Edward Kent Waite MC (see8^th February) and for Tucker by Capt. Paul James Sainsbury (see 8^th February).

Ptes. Joseph Blackburn (29722) (see 30^th January), Garibaldi Edwin Dawson (see 14^th March 1918) and Joseph Holmes (see 30^th January) were posted to England to be demobilized; all three would be demobilized from Clipstone Camp.

Lt. William George Wade (see 31^st January) was formally released from the Army; he completed his documents whilst at Ripon.

Lt. John Charles Brison Redfearn (see 3^rd January) was also formally released.

Pte. Cuthbert Dyer (see 10^th January) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Pte. John George Inshaw (see 10^th January), who was on leave in England, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Pte. Walter Charlesworth (see 25^th January 1917), who had been serving with the Machine Gun Corps, was also formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. At some point during his time with the MGC (details unknown) he had suffered facial wounds resulting in “mutilation of gums and upper lip; five teeth missing”; as a result he was awarded an Army pension of 8s. 3d. per week.

Pte. Thomas Gunnell was also 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 been transferred to the Labour Corps. In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish any details of his service with 10DWR.
