Pte. Abraham Hill Lord

British Army 10th Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps

from:Whitworth, Lancashire

My grandfather 8221 A H Lord RAMC was sent back from France sick, but not wounded, in Oct 1916. Probably gassed. Reclassified C2. Transferred to RAMC Prov Company Aldershot then Blackpool. Transferred to 362 Reserve Employment Company. Given new Army No. 251473. Reclassified B1 Aug 1917. Sent back to France. Then to 236 Divisional Employment Company, 39 Divn, Varangeville.

I am trying to establish when he went to Varangeville, probably Mar 1918, and when he was demobilised, probably mid Jan 1919. I have some notes he made about pay. The amount he was due in Sterling (old pence)and the amount he had already drawn, in Francs. From 22 Mar 1918 to 10 Jan 1919 304 days at 1/- (12d) which would be army pay, probably from when he was posted to Varangeville, but he also records an additional 304 days at 4d and a further 150 days at 4d.

I feel that these sums may give a clue to dates. Was the extra 4d per day anything to do with his good conduct stripe or was it for some other reason.
