Tuesday 10th June 1919

Pte. John Walter Jennings (see 27^th May), who had spent two weeks in hospital whilst home on leave from 8^th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, having been in contact with someone suffering from measles, was discharged from 2^nd/4^th Southern General Hospital in Birmingham. Rather than being posted back to Italy he was instead posted to 3^rd Yorks. and Lancs. at Rollestone Camp on Salisbury Plain.

Pte. Eli Bradley (see 12^th May) was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of malaria contracted in service in India; he was assessed as having suffered 40% disability and was awarded an Army pension of 11s. per week, to be reviewed after six months.

The widow of the late Pte. Matthew Henry Jubb (see 23^rd December 1918), who had been officially missing in action since 10^th April, while serving with 1^st/4^th DWR, wrote to the War Office to inform them that she had received information from a Cpl. Collins, who had been with Pte. Jubb, and had been a prisoner of war in Germany, confirming that her husband was dead. After contacting Cpl. Collins a formal report was received from him at the War Office stating that, “Pte. Jubb was badly wounded above the right knee and was picked up by two German Red Cross men who carried them (ie Jubb and Collins) to an old farm building where Jubb died after being there about six hours. The place was just outside Erquingham, near Armentieres”. Jubb had been buried by the Germans at a military cemetery at Fleurbaix, but after the war his remains would be exhumed and re-interred at Rue David Military Cemetery, Fleurbaix.

Mrs. Florence Emily Ford, widow of the late Pte. Walter William Ford (see 9^th May) who had died from influenza whilst at his home in Bristol, wrote to the Infantry Records Office in York in reply to a recent request for information regarding her late husband, “The Doctor who attended him on Saturday Feb. 15^th was Dr. Cairns of Devon House, White Hall Road, White Hall, Bristol. Dr. Alexandra, of Byron House, Church Road, Redfield, Bristol attended him on Monday 17^th, Tuesday 18^th and Wednesday 19^th”.
