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).

Sgt. John Stewart (see 30th December 1919),
serving in France at the Chinese Labour Corps Depot at Noyelles sur Mer, was
posted to China; the details of this posting are unknown but it was presumably in
connection with the return labourers to China.
