Maj. Robert Harwar Gill DSO (see 25th February), who was on leave having been under treatment at 3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth, on account of wounds he had suffered in October 1918, was awarded £4 4s. as ‘refund for the cost of an artificial eye’.

Cpl. Frank Revell (see 22nd February 1919), who had been transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z a year previously, appeared before an Army Medical Board. He was found to be suffering from rheumatism, which had been aggravated by his military service; he was awarded an Army pension of 14s. 7d. per week.

The pension award which had been made to Sgt. Fred Metcalfe (13032) (see 20th September 1917), who had been discharged from the Army a year previously on account of wounds, was reviewed and reduced to 17s. 9d. per week, to be reviewed after a year.

The pension award which had been made to Pte. Michael Bowen (see 16th March 1919), who had been discharged from the Army a year previously on account of wounds, was reviewed and increased from 8s. 3d. per week to 12s.

Payment of a £22 war gratuity was authorised in respect of the late Pte. L.Cpl. Walter Maynard Willis (see 5th June 1919), who had died in August 1918 at the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Menston having been discharged from the Army; the payment would go to his widow, Jeannie.
