Monday 28th April 1919


L.Cpl. George Mitchell (see 5th March 1918), serving with L Signals Battalion, Royal Engineers, was posted back to England for demobilization.

Pte. Milton Wood (see 26th November 1918), serving in France with 2nd/5th DWR, was posted to England for demobilization.

Pte. John William Atkinson MM (see 16th November 1918) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Alfred Pass snr., the father of 2Lt. Alfred Ernest Pass (known as ‘Alf’) (see 26th August 1918), who had been officially missing in action since the raid on the Asiago Plateau in August 1918, wrote to the War Office, “On 1st March 1919 you wrote to me saying nothing further could be reported about my son ‘missing and wounded’. You gave the name of Lt. K.S. Bain (2Lt. Keith Sagar Bain MC, see 11th March). I have seen this officer and he told me that he left my son, as he feels sure, dead. He could not give me the slightest hope. Under these circumstances if you could presume death I should be much obliged”. 
2Lt. Alfred Ernest Pass
A payment of £30 10s. 6d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £17 10s.) to the late L.Cpl. Albert Edward Smith (see 27th October 1918) who had been killed in action in October 1918; the payment would go to his widow, Annie, with two thirds of the amount expressly stated to be for their children.
