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 25th April 1919) and Ptes. George Edmund Hockley (see 25th April 1919), Willie Lee (see 25th April 1919), Albert Leeson (see 25th April 1919), Adam Shore (see 25th April 1919), Samuel Slone (see 25th April 1919), George William Tombs (see 25th April 1919) and Arthur J. Webb (see 25th April 1919).
