Monday 25th August 1919


Pte. Reginald Dayson (see 18th July), who was a prisoner at Portland Prison, Dorset, was formally discharged from the Army under King’s Regulations 392, xii, ‘having been sentenced to penal servitude’. However, it would appear that he would be released from prison, rather than serving the remainder of his sentence.

A/Maj. John Atkinson (see 1st June), who had been Commandant, Western Divisional Reception Camp as part of the army of occupation in Germany, returned to England for demobilization.

A/Sgt. Leonard Garnett was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had originally served with 8DWR, being posted to Gallipoli in July 1915; the date and circumstances of his joining 10DWR are unknown. In the absence of a surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or to establish any further details of his military service.

A report submitted by 3rd Labour Company confirmed that the remains of Capt. Thomas Lewis Ingram, DSO, (see 16th September 1916), RAMC, who had been killed in September 1916 whilst on attachment to 1st Shropshire Light Infantry, had been exhumed from his original grave, which had been behind the German lines, and re-buried at the Guards Cemetery, Les Boeufs. Capt. Ingram was the brother of Capt. Robert Stewart Skinner Ingram (see 12th February), who had been one of the original officers of 10DWR.
