He was at the time attached to 1/6 Cyclist Battalion, Norfolk Regiment. His address on discharge was to be Knot Hill, Armathwaite, Carlisle.

Following the recent correspondence from Alfred Pass snr., the father of 2Lt. Alfred Ernest Pass (known as ‘Alf’) (see 28th April), who had been officially missing in action since the raid on the Asiago Plateau in August 1918, the War Office now confirmed that “No further official report has been received. Enquiries through the Netherlands Legation have been without result. In view of the lapse of time since anything has been heard of this Officer his name is put forward for presumption of death”.
