Monday 5th May 1919

Cpl. Harry Wood MM (see 9th April) was transferred from Jericho Military Hospital, Bury to the Royal Infirmary in Manchester, in readiness for a further operation.

A/CQMS Bertie Thurling (see 12th April), who had been on attachment to 505th Prisoner of War Company at San Bonifacio, was posted back to England for demobilization. However, due to an administrative error, he would, a week later, be reported as ‘absent without leave’ from Arquata Scrivia.
Dvr. Arthur Overend (see 17th September 1918), serving in France with the ASC, was posted to England for demobilization.
Ptes. James Butterworth (see 4th April), Joseph Alfred Formby (see 4th April), Louis Frank Lewis (see 4th April), Albert Mellor (see 4th April), Maurice Paignton (see 4th April) and John Watson (see below) were formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.
John Watson had originally served with 8DWR before being transferred (date and details unknown) to 10DWR; in the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or establish any details of his service.
Pte. William Carver (see 6th November 1918), who had been serving with 273rd Employment Company at GHQ, Italy, was also formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.
Pte. James Charles Eugene O’Callaghan (see 11th September 1918), who had been in England since having been severely wounded on 7th June 1917, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit due to his wounds. His disability was assessed as being 50% and he was awarded an Army pension of 13s. 9d. per week, to be reviewed after one year.
