Memo dated 6 May 1918 from OC C Company to Adjutant re the loss of haircutting implements.
“6 May 1918
The Adjutant
The haircutting implements on charge to C Company (2 machines, and 1 pair scissors), were lost in the action of 27 Apr 1918, owing to the Company Barber being wounded, having the implements in his possession at the time.  He had them with him in action owing to an oversight due to the large amount of work at the time of moving from Marles-les-Mines.  It has not been usual for the barber to take the implements into action.  This man was newly appointed, the former barber having been wounded 9 Apr 1918.
Lieutenant G R Metcalf, Officer Commanding, C Company, 1st/4th King’s Own”
Last recorded Company Barber was Private Joseph Pollitt, number 24177, C Company, 1st/4th King’s Own.  Assume he may have been wounded 9 Apr 1918.
