Saturday 14th June 1919


Cpl. Arthur Lee MM (see 29th March), who had reported as ‘absent without leave’ having failed to return from leave to England from 8th Yorks. and Lancs., reported to 1st Battalion Yorks. and Lancs. at Rollestone Camp on Salisbury Plain.

Pte. James Moran (see 6th December 1918), who, it seems, had been recently released from prison having served a twelve months sentence for manslaughter, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He was originally awarded an Army pension on grounds of ‘debility caused by active service’; it was noted that, ‘states that he is not fit and has suffered in health since joining up. Heart and lungs sound; slight wounds healed and no inconvenience’. However, his award of 10s. 4d. per week, to be reviewed after six months, would be annulled and his claim rejected.
