L.Cpl. Herman Tutty (see 27th April), who was home on leave from 8th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, wrote to the Infantry Records Office in York, “Can you kindly give me any satisfaction referring to my situation which is being held open for me. My employer (Mr. Page of Waddingham) sent in an application for me some time ago stating he would employ me on his farm as soon as I could possibly be set at liberty and I have heard no further about it and as I am in England I should be much obliged if you would give me some satisfaction so as to let my employer know what to do before my life is expired”. The nature of the reply he received is unknown, but he would re-join his Battalion on schedule.
