Thursday 22nd April 1920


Maj. Robert Harwar Gill DSO (see 16th April), who was on leave having been under treatment at 3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth, on account of wounds he had suffered in October 1918, again wrote (from his home address at Claremont House, Knaresborough) to Northern Command regarding the recent decision that he was to relinquish his commission:

“Will you kindly furnish me with a reply to my letter of 16th as my leave presumably expires on the 28th and  the Medical Officers who recommended that leave did so on the understanding that I would return to Queen Alexandra’s Military Hospital, Millbank, on its expiration, for further treatment. I have not, to my knowledge, been discharged from hospital and do not wish to be absent without leave’.
Maj. Robert Harwar Gill DSO
George Herbert Lant (see 18th February 1919), who had been transferred to the Army Reserve Class Z in February 1919, was awarded an Army pension of 8s. per week, having been accepted as suffering from a 20% disability on account of ‘D.A.H’ (D.A.H. was Disordered Action of the Heart' otherwise known as 'Soldier's Heart' or 'Effort Syndrome') attributable to his military service.
