Pte.

Pte. William Thomas Foley (see 29^th September 1918), who had been in England since having been wounded in August 1918, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z; he was assessed as having a 40% disability due to ‘wasting of the forearm, hand weakness and parenthesis of the hand’ and was awarded an Army pension of 20s. 6d. per week for six months, reducing thereafter to 13s. 8d, and to be reviewed after one year.

A grant of probate was issued in the affairs of the late Maj. Herbert St. John Carr West (see 28^th March), who had died of wounds on 27^th October 1918. Probate of his estate, valued at £361 3s. 7d. was granted to Balfour West Beard, who was one of the named executors in Maj. Carr West’s will; the other executor, Kathleen Beard, wife of Balfour West Beard, having renounced probate of the estate. Maj. Carr West’s medals were to be issued to his daughter, Vida Evelyn. There had been something of a dispute between Maj. Carr West’s widow and other members of his family regarding his estate.
