Wednesday 18th February 1920


George Oversby (see 23rd February 1919), who had been discharged from the Army in February 1919, was re-examined by an Army Medical Board. The Board reported that ‘He complains of stiffness in right index finger and aching left leg on much walking. Scar over posterior aspect 2nd phalanx right index finger; healed; not tender; not adherent; some thickening of middle phalanx; some creaking; other fingers and thumb normal; grip good. Less than 20% disability. 2” vertical scar, inner side lower third left leg; healed; partially adherent; not tender; ankle movements normal. No disability’. His current pension award of 5s. 6d. per week was increased to 8s. per week for the next nine weeks, pending a further medical report.

Albert Moore (see 14th December 1918), who had been discharged from the Army in December 1918, died at his home in Captain Street, Bradford, having suffered from chronic bronchitis and pulmonary TB. His brother and next of kin, Walter, would be awarded a pension payment amounting to £2 per week for the period from 1st November 1919, when it was considered that Albert had become 100% disabled as a result of disease aggravated whilst in service, to the date of death.
