Monday 10th March 1919


Billets at Montecchia di Crosara

Ptes. Joseph Foulkes (see 24th April 1918), Matthew Howard (see 20th September 1918) and John Lee (see 26th August 1918) were posted back to England to be demobilized; at some point while serving with 10DWR Pte. Lee had been wounded (date and details unknown), suffering wounds to his arm. Foulkes would be demobilized from Clipstone; Howard from Prees Heath; and Lee from Ripon.

Cpl. Arthur Lee MM (see 18th February) and Ptes. Ernest Ashness (see 2nd March), Harry Beaumont (29306) (see 18th February), Arthur Brook (see 18th February), Joseph William Carter (see 18th February), Henry Fielding (see 18th February) and William George Ruddock MM (see 18th February), serving with 8th Yorks. and Lancs., departed for England on two weeks’ leave.
Pte. John William Dean (see 19th August 1918), serving in France with 2nd/5th DWR, was transferred to 2nd/4th DWR.  


Pte. Eli Bradley (see 15th December 1918), was evacuated to England from the Convalescent Depot at Dagshai in India; he was suffering from malaria. He would return to England onboard the Transport Ship Ellora.
Ptes. George Bell (see 10th February), Michael Church (see 29th June 1918) John Gayton (see 1st February) and Joseph Harker (see 17th October 1916) were officially transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.
L.Cpl. Robinson Walker (see 9th July 1916) was also officially transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z; he had originally served with 10DWR but at some point, having suffered from shellshock in July 1916, had been transferred (date and details unknown) to 2DWR.
Pte. James George Aries (see 8th September 1917) was also officially transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z; he had originally served with 10DWR but at some point (date and details unknown) had been transferred to 1st/7th DWR. 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.

The War Office took further action in regard to 2Lt. Lawrence Tindill MM (see 14th January), who had been officially missing in action since 21st June 1918; it was now noted that “No further report has been received and enquiries through the Netherlands Legation have been without result. In view of the lapse of time since anything has been heard of this officer his name is put forward for presumption of death”.
