Cpl. Harry Wood MM (see 12^th September), who had been in a variety of hospitals since having been wounded 18 months previously, was discharged from Nell Lane Military Hospital, West Didsbury, Manchester to the Military Convalescent Hospital in Ashton-in-Makerfield. A medical report prior to discharge recorded that, “All wounds healed; there can be no doubt that the lung was damaged by the bullet. Large scar on left shoulder and it is partially adherent. Can move shoulder well but there is some weakness. Leg has healed well; good bony union’. He would be discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of his wounds; he was assessed as having suffered a 20% disability and was awarded an Army pension of 8s. 8d. per week.

An Army Medical Board reviewed the case of Pte. Frank Easterby (see 5^th March 1919), who had been discharged from the Army as no longer physically fit for service on account of his wounds in March 1919; his degree of disability was reassessed and reduced from 50% to 30% and his Army pension reduced from 18s. 9d. per week to 17s. 3d., to be reviewed after six months.

A payment of a £24 9s. 4d, comprising of £9 9s. 4d. due from pay and allowances and a £15 war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. William Hassall (see 24^th April 1919), who had been killed in action in October 1918; the payment would go to Miss Ethel May Popplewell, administrator of his estate.
