Monday 19th May 1919

Pte. Mark Beaumont (see 13^th May), who had been recently been transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z, married Edith May Brumfitt at the Parish Church, Burley-in-Wharfedale; Beaumont was now working as an attendant at the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Menston.

The War Office wrote to Alfred Pass snr., the father of 2Lt. Alfred Ernest Pass (known as ‘Alf’) (see 4^th May), who had been officially missing in action since the raid on the Asiago Plateau in August 1918, and who had recently been confirmed as presumed dead. “I am directed to thank you for your letter of 28^th April 1919, and to state that unofficial information concerning the burial of an officer who is believed to be 2Lt. A.E Pass, has been received from Major Town. A copy of his report is enclosed. I am to state that this report is being referred to the Director General of Graves Registrations and Enquiries with a view to the location of the grave. A letter has also been addressed to Lt. Bain (2Lt. Keith Sagar Bain MC, see 28^th April) requesting him to forward all the information in his possession regarding the fate of 2Lt. Pass. A further communication will be addressed to you when a reply has been received”.
