Tuesday 19th August 1919

Pte. John Beckwith (see 16^th February) was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service due to ‘sciatica and lumbago’; he was assessed as having a less than 20% disability and was awarded an Army pension of 5s. 6d. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

A pension award was made in the case of the late Pte. Walter William Ford (see 10^th June) who had died from influenza in February; his widow, Florence, was awarded 13s. 9d. per week.

Payment of a £7 10s. war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Sgt. Irvine Ellis (see 4^th April 1917), who had been killed in action November 1915. The payment would go to his mother, Jessie.
