Saturday 19th April 1919

Lt. Col. Sydney Spencer Hayne DSO (see 13^th September 1918), former CO of 10DWR, who had been CO commanding 2^nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, relinquished his temporary appointment as Lieutenant Colonel. However, as Major, he would remain in the Army and be posted to India

Sgt. Richard Farrar (see 22^nd February), serving on attachment at the Prisoner of War Camp at Brocton Camp, Staffs., was formally discharged from the Army as longer physically fit for service on account of the wounds he had suffered in October 1916; he was assessed as having suffered a 30% disability and was awarded an Army pension of 13s. 3d. per week.

L.Cpl. Arthur Lund (see 27^th November 1918) and Pte. Lewis Greenwood (see 22^nd January 1918), serving with 3DWR at North Shields, were formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Cpl. William Henry Thornton (see 19^th December 1918), serving in England with the Army Pay Corps, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had applied for an Army pension on the grounds of having suffered gastritis as a result of his military service; however, the Medical Board had reported that, whilst he suffered from ‘Pains in the stomach and occasional vomiting after food; there is apparently some chronic gastritis which necessitates careful diet’, this constituted no disability and his claim was rejected.

Pte. Garnet Boothroyd (see 2^nd March), who had been recently transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z, was married, at the Parish Church in Honley, to May Platt.
