Harry Beaumont (29306) (see 21st October), James Frederick Coldwell (see 21st October), Arthur Wallis (see 21st October), John Walton (see 21st October) and Irvin Wilkinson (see 21st October), who had been serving with 8th Battalion Yorks. and Lancs., were formally transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z.   

Pte. George Smith (25950) (see 24th November 1918), who had been in England since having been wounded in October 1918, was formally discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of his wounds; he was awarded an Army pension (amount and details unknown).

Payment of a £13 10s. war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late A/Sgt. James Collings (see 14th May 1918), who had been killed in action in September 1917; the payment would go to his widow, Mary Ann. 

Payment of an £18 10s. war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Frank Ernest Walton (see 15th February 1918), who had been killed in action in October 1917; the payment would go to his executor, his aunt and sole legatee, Mrs. Evelina Sanderson.

An increase was authorised in the weekly pension payable to the dependants of Pte. Robert Emson (see 14th October), who had been killed in action in October 1916; his father, William, was to receive 8s. per week, rather than the 4s. which he had received hitherto.
