Tuesday 29th April 1919

Pte. Frederick William Warner (see 29^th March) was discharged from a convalescent hospital (details unknown) following treatment for scabies and impetigo; he would have ten days’ leave before reporting for duty with 3DWR.

Pte. Harry Moore (16991) (see 29^th March) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Pte. John Henry Barraclough (see 20^th September 1917), who had been serving with the Labour Corps, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of sickness; he was awarded the Silver War Badge but would have a claim for an Army pension rejected.

CSM Edward George John Cooke (see 23^rd Februar), who had been transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z two months previously, appeared before an Army Medical Board; the Board found that ‘he complains of swelling of right leg and pain in leg after heavy work. Through and through wounds and operation scar 2” below crest of right illium; wounds soundly healed. No swelling of thigh or leg. Movements at hip joint fine and full. No impairment’. He was awarded a gratuity payment of £5 but was to receive no pension.

A pension award was made in the case of the late L. Cpl. Charles Dowson (see 26^th August 1918), who had been presumed dead having been reported missing in action in August 1918; his aunt, Ellen Wood, was awarded 7s. per week.
