John then survived the whole war and was transferred at some point to the 39th battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, this is confirmed on the Medal Index Card. The 39th battalion were detailed with battlefield clearance and only existed as a battalion from 10 May 1919 to 5 March 1920,... less than a year.
