Billets at Arzignano

Sgt. Albert Hoggarth (see 13^th January) and Ptes. George Dunkin (see 9^th June 1918), Frederick Thomas Peart (see 4^th August 1918) and John Perrin (see 8^th December 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 Hoggarth, Dunkin, Perrin, by Capt. Henry Kelly VC, MC (see 17^th January) and for Peart by 2Lt. Wilfred Frederick John Thomson MC (see 1^st February).

Pte. Edwin Dawson (see 21^st September 1918), serving in France with 9DWR, was posted back to England for demobilization.

Pte. William Naylor (see 29^th January), who was on leave in England, was officially struck off the strength of 10DWR.

CQMS Thomas Winder (see 24^th April 1918), Cpl. Alfred Taylor (see 11^th January) and Ptes. David Boas (see 8^th September 1917), Edward Carney (see below), William Henry Mashiter (see below), Albert Mawer Metcalfe (see 20^th November 1914), John Thomas Ewbank Nunnington (see below), Thomas Prince (see 15^th January), Thomas Procter MM (see 20^th September 1918) and John Malcolm Starbuck (see 26^th January) were officially transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of Edward Carney or to establish any details of his service beyond the fact that he had at some point been transferred from 10DWR to the Labour Corps. William Henry Mashiter had originally served with 8DWR, going to Gallipoli in June 1915; in the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish when, and under what circumstances, he had joined 10DWR. John Thomas Nunnington was a 36 year-old farm labourer from York; he was married with one daughter. He had enlisted in March 1915 and had gone to Gallipoli with 8DWR in September 1915. He had been wounded in September 1916, suffering wounds to his left thigh. In the absence of a more complete service record I am unable to establish the date and circumstances of his transfer to 10DWR or any details of his service with the Battalion

L.Cpl. Robert William Buckingham (see 23^rd September 1918), who had been serving at the Regimental Depot at Halifax, was also formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z; he was assessed as having suffered a 30% disability due to synovitis and was awarded an Army pension of 8s. 3d. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

Capt. Robert Stewart Skinner Ingram (see 10^th December 1918), who had been serving with the RAF, was transferred to the ‘unemployed list’. He would return to the family home in Wimbledon and resume his studies in the law before becoming a solicitor.
