Saturday 3rd May 1919

Pte. Percival William Hall (see 4^th October 1918), who had been serving with 1034 Labour Company, based at San Bonifacio, was posted back to England to join 3DWR, then based at Crosby.

Pte. Rowland Fishwick was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service due to wounds suffered in action; he was awarded the Silver War Badge. He had originally enlisted in December 1916 and had only ever served with 10DWR but, in the absence of a surviving servce record, I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish any details of his service.

An administrative note was made recording the fact that the Silver War Badge which had been awarded to Pte. Walter White (see 10^th August 1918), who had served with 10DWR before being transferred to the Labour Corps, had been ‘brought in by police’.

A payment of £21 7s. 6d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £12) to the late L.Cpl. William George Golding (see 24^th April) who had been killed in action in October 1918; the payment would be divided between his father, Frederick, who would receive £8 7s. 6d. and Daisy M. Hughes, who would receive £13.

A payment of £46 7s. 2d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £24) to the late Pte. Edward Victor Grubb (see 20^th December 1918) who had died from influenza and pneumonia in October 1918; the payment would go to his mother, Mary.


A pension award was made in the case of the late Sgt. James Robinson (see 26^th August 1918), who had been presumed dead having been reported missing in action in Augsut 1918; his widow, Annie, was awarded £1 2s. per week for herself and their son, Leslie.
