Wednesday 31st March 1920

The Army Reserve Class Z, which had been authorised in December 1918 as a means of retaining a reserve of demobilized men who could be swiftly recalled in the event of a resumption of hostilities, was abolished. As a result more than 1,100 men who had served with 10DWR were finally and formally discharged from the Army.

A number of men who had been serving with the Royal Munster Fusiliers were also recorded as having been ‘discharged on demobilization’; these included Cpl. Lawrence William Hinchcliffe (see 25^th April 1919) and Ptes. George Edmund Hockley (see 25^th April 1919), Will Lee (see 25^th April 1919), Albert Leeson (see 25^th April 1919), Adam Shore (see 25^th April 1919), Samuel Slone (see 25^th April 1919), George William Tombs (see 25^th April 1919) and Arthur J. Webb (see 25^th April 1919).
