Payment of £6 from a war gratuity of £18 was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Alfred Baker (see 25th March 1919), who had died, apparently of heart failure, in July 1918; the payment would go to his widow, Florence. The balance, of £12, would subsequently be paid to their daughter, Nellie.
Payment of £2 from a war gratuity of £4 was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Edwin Charles Church (see 12th January), who had been killed in action in September 1917; the payment would go to his sister, Emma. The balance, of £2, would subsequently be paid to Mrs. Annie D’Arcy, the sister-in-law of Pte. Church.
Payment of £1 8s.s 3d. from a war gratuity of £22 was authorised in respect of the late Sgt. Albert Hurford MM (see 3rd March 1919), who had been killed in action in October 1918 while serving with 1st Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment. His widow, Ida, having died in the Autumn of 1919 the payment would go to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ada Thurlow. The balance, of £20 11s. 9d., would subsequently be paid to his brother-in-law, Arthur Cleveland Thurlow.
A payment of 3s. 2d. was authorised in respect of the late Pte. Matthew Henry Jubb (see 12th November 1919), who had died of wounds behind German lines in April 1918, while serving with 1st/4th DWR. The payment arose from an amendment to the acknowledged date of death of Pte. Jubb; his date of death had originally been stated as 10th April, but had been corrected to 12th April, thus entitling his widow to a further two days’ of her late husband’s pay and allowances.
