Tuesday 16th September 1919

Following two weeks treatment for debility, Pte. James Austin (see 4^th September) was discharged from the Military Hospital, Endell Street, Covent Garden, London, and posted to a convalescent hospital in Eastbourne.

Pte. Percy Parker was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit on account of wounds; he was awarded the Silver War Badge but the details of any gratuity or pension payments are unknown. He had been an original member of 10DWR and had been posted to France in August 1915 but had subsequently served with 8DWR and 1^st/4^thDWR. In the absence of a surviving service record, I am unable to make a positive identification of this man or establish any details of his military service.

Payment of a £10 war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Michael Davis (see 6^th March 1917), who had died of wounds in October 1916; the payment would go to his sister Ellen.

Payment of a £10 10s. war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Sgt. Kayley Earnshaw DCM (see 26^th July 1918), who had been killed in action in June 1916; the payment would be divided in three equal shares between his widow, Ellen, and their two daughters, Doris and Gladys.
