After the Germans were defeated the family was repatriated to Bridge of Weir, Scotland via Liverpool. In 1946 Harry went back to Jersey to reclaim his property and see if anything could be salvaged. But his business and house had been sacked with the house being demolished by the Germans. Returning to Scotland Harry died within months back at Lintwhite Hostel, Bridge of Weir, Kilbarchan.

From R. Carlyle

The Officer in Charge
1st AIF Records
Melbourne

Dear Sir,
A few days ago I read in the papers that a gratuity was given to members of the first A.I.F. on discharge.
This was the first I have heard of such gratuity but I have since confirmed with A.I.F. members the receipt of such.
Immediately after my discharge I went to my home in New Zealand. This may be the reason why I received neither gratuity nor service medals.
I received deferred pay and Defence Dept. Wages the day of discharge"

"I did not bother much about getting service medals.
Will you please let me have some information regarding the gratuity.
Yours faithfully
R. Carlyle
