Friday 19th December 1919


Pte. Ernest Perry (see 29th July 1916) was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z. He had been wounded in July 1916, but, in the absence of a surviving service record, the details of his subsequent service are unknown. However, he was awarded an Army pension (8s. per week) on the grounds of having suffered a 20% disability on account of malaria; this would suggest that he had most likely served with 1DWR in India. He was denied any additional pension in relation to the wound he had suffered in July 1916.

Pte. Johnny Smith (see 20th September 1918), who had been serving in India with 1DWR, was formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.
