• Order for 148 axes, 148 pick axes and 222 shovels.
• Letter from Cumberland County Council Health Department: “enclosing ... an account for £1. 6. 4. Incurred for needles used in inoculating your men. ... We have most gladly given our services and will always be willing to do whatever we can, and I think you will agree that the Army ought to bear this cost.”
• Copy letter from Col. Machell: “The Cumberland Infirmary at Carlisle, kindly agreed to accept a limited number of our more serious cases on payment of 1/9 per day, the amount allowed for our messing. This is by far the best arrangement that can be made. Our own ambulance takes our sick from our medical detention room in the camp, straight to the Infirmary.”
• Letter from General Collings to Col. Machell: “to let you know how pleased I was with all you showed me today. When you see Lord Lonsdale will you tell him how greatly I was struck with the evidence of what he has done for the Battalion and of the interest he takes in its welfare. I shall write to Western Command informing them of my inspection & satisfaction & I shall also mention about the quality of the boots as there is a very general complaint & something should, if possible, be done in the matter.”
• Officer Struck Off: “the Officer Commanding wishes to place on record his appreciation of the services rendered by Col. Haworth ... in raising and training C Company which he brought to Headquarters ... feels the Westmorland Company will never lose the impression of Colonel Haworth’s personality, and thanks him for contributing this splendid contingent to the ranks of the Lonsdale Battalion.”
