Tuesday 11th May 1920

Pte. Michael Cooney MM (see 2nd July 1919), who had been serving with the Irish Guards, was formally discharged from the Army; he would be subsequently (October 1920) be assessed as having suffered a disability of less than 20% as a result of a gunshot wound to the arm and neurasthenia and would be awarded an Army pension of 5s. 6d. per week.

A review of the pension award made to Robert Sylvester Downey (see 14th December 1918), who had been discharged from the Army in December 1918, led to his pension being increased to 16s. per week, to be reviewed after one year.

Michael Frainey, father of the late Pte. James Frainey (see 29th January), who had been killed in action in March 1916, died.
