Pte. Tom Clay (see 18th February), serving
with 8th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, was reported for ‘Irregular
conduct; having a shirt in desk in Platoon room on Company Commander’s inspection’;
he was ordered to be confined to barracks for three days.
Pte. Arthur Edward
Bottomley (see 18th
February), serving with 8th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, departed
on two weeks’ leave to England.
Pte. Percy Whitehead
was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service
due to wounds to his left arm and hand; he was awarded an Army pension (details
unknown). He was a mill hand from Dewsbury and had been called up in February
1917, aged 18, and had served with 10DWR before being transferred (date and
details unknown) to 2DWR. In the absence of a surviving service record I am
unable to establish any details of his military career.
