Thursday 8th May 1919

L.Cpl. Charles Sidney Taylor (see 12^th March), serving with 8^th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, was reported for drunkenness; he would be deprived of his Lance Corporal’s stripe and reduced to Private.

Pte. Ernest Mudd (see 9^th April), who was serving at the Regimental Depot in Halifax, was reported as ‘absent from tattoo’; he would return at 9.30am the following day and would be ordered to be confined to barracks for two days and forfeit one day’s pay.

Pte. Herbert Archer (see 13^th February), who had been in England since having been wounded on 27^th October 1918, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. Having been wounded in action he was assessed as having suffered only a 1% disability and was awarded a one-off gratuity payment of £32 10s.

Pte. Herbert Haigh was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service due to wounds suffered in action; he was assessed as having suffered a 30% disability and was awarded an Army pension of 12s. per week, to be reviewed after one year. Herbert Haigh was 37 years old and from Huddersfield; he had enlisted in December 1915 and had only ever served with 10DWR, but, in the absence of a surviving service record, I am unable to establish any details of his service

A payment of £18 6s. 6d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £7) to the late Pte. Harry Douglas Peate (see 27^th October 1918), who had been killed in action in October 1918; the payment would go to his mother, Eva.

Following the recent request from the War Office to GOC, British Forces in Italy regarding 2Lt. Lawrence Tindill MM (see 30^th April), who had been officially missing in action since 21^st June 1918, a reply was received: “I beg to inform you that the bodies of a 2/Lt and a Corporal of the 10^th West Riding Regiment were found by one of our search parties at map reference, sheet 37 H.7152 Asiago Plateau 1/25,000 and the Adjutant of the Battalion stated that he was of the opinion that they were those of  2/Lt Tindill MM and 203385 Cpl. Robinson, J, (Cpl. Joseph Robinson, see 7^th November 1918), who were missing during a raid made on that part of the enemy lines corresponding to the map reference at which the bodies were found. The body believed to be that of 2/Lt Tindill has been buried in Barenthal British Cemetery, Plot 3, Row B, Grave 5. Further enquiries from the 10^th Bn West Riding Regt. cannot now be made as the cadre of this Btn proceeded to England on 29^th March 1919”.
