A/CQMS Bertie Thurling (see 12^th April), who had been on attachment to 505^th 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.

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.
