Sunday 24th August 1919

A/Sgt. L.Cpl. Fred Oldroyd (see 21st June), L.Cpl. Charles Sidney Taylor (see 30th July) and Ptes. Walter Clarke (see 27th April), Walter Gee Wardley (see 30th March) and Herbert John Wicks (see 13th April), serving with 8th Yorks. and Lancs. at Fiume, all completed and signed their ‘Statement as to Disability’ forms as a precursor to being demobilized; within days (exact date unknown) they would be posted back to England. 

L.Cpl. Richard Cleasby Chorley (see 27th January), who had been transferred to Class Z in January, wrote to the Infantry Record Office in York. In addition to confirming his medal entitlement he also requested their assistance in securing outstanding pay due to him from his military service: “Whilst attached to the Labour Corps (A1 man attached 223 Employment Company) I was promoted Corporal with pay from 17.11.1917 until 23.3.1918 and, although entries were made in B213 of the 223 Employment Company, I have never been credited with this pay and beg to request that it may be credited and paid to me”. The outcome of his appeal is unknown.
