Wednesday 16th July 1919

Cpl. Harry Wood MM (see 20th May) was discharged from the Royal Infirmary in Manchester; he would have ten days’ leave before reporting to Nell Lane Military Hospital, West Didsbury, Manchester. A report on admission noted that, ‘Large wound on posterior aspect of scapula; small weep discharging; been in same condition for three months; no bare bone felt’. Following an X-ray it would be further noted that, ‘Probe in sinus (about 2” long) leads to cavity in bone; sequestra (bone fragments) present’.

Payment of a £3 war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Isaac Beardsley (see 10th February 1916), who had been killed in action in October 1915; the payment would go to his sister, Florence.
