Thursday 15th May 1919

Pte. John William Dean (see 10^th March), serving in Germany with 2^nd/4^th DWR, departed on two weeks’ leave to England.  

Pte. Harry Barraclough MM (see 25^th February), who had been in England since February, was transferred to 1^st Battalion Machine Gun Corps, based at Grantham.

Pte. Michael Kenefick MM (see 21^st June 1918) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z; he had, at some point in the previous year (details unknown) been transferred to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. A medical examination conducted at the Auxiliary Hospital in Woolwich prior to his transfer to the Reserve found that he had an ‘old bullet wound across the back; pain between shoulders; unable to carry weights; small scars of entry and exit wounds to back; quite healed’; he was thus found ineligible for any Army pension.

A payment of £54 6d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £31) to the late Sgt. Richard Everson DCM, MM (see 24^th January) who had been killed in action on 27^th October 1918; the payment would go to his mother, Anne Elizabeth.
