Friday 6th June 1919

Pte. Charles Clear (see 9^th May), serving with the 2^nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment at Clipstone Camp, was reported as having overstayed on a pass; he would be confined to barracks for five days.

Pte. Michael Langley (see 27^th April), serving with 3DWR at Pembroke Dock, was reported ‘absent off draft leave’; he would not return until 12^th June. He would be ordered to undergo 12 days’ Field Punishment no.2 and to forfeit six days’ pay.

Sgt. William Clough was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had been an original member of 10DWR but at some point (date and details unknown) had been transferred to 2^nd/4^thDWR. In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or establish any details of his service.

Pte. Milton Wood (see 28^th April), who had been serving in France with 2^nd/5^th DWR, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.

Pte. Charles Hammond (see 16^th September 1918), who had been in England since having been wounded while serving in France with 2/7^th DWR, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of his wounds; he was assessed as having a 50% disability and was awarded an Army pension of £1 13s. 6d. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

A payment of £42 1s. 1d. was authorised, being the amount due in pay and allowances (including a war gratuity of £24) to the late Pte. William Summers Holmes (see 21^st February), who had died of influenza in October 1918; the payment would go to his widow, Nellie, with two thirds specifically for the benefit of their child.
