Epsom Territorials: Dinner and Presentation: The first dinner for many years arranged in connection with the Epsom and Leatherhead (“D”) Company of the 5th Battalion East Surrey Regiment (T.F.) was held at the Capitol, Epsom, on Friday evening … (discussion) … Parting Gilfts: Sergt Pinsent would leave them at the end the month to return to the 2nd Battalion at Shorncliffe. It was three years ago when he took over the command from Capt. Stoakley, that Sergt. Pinsent came to them, and one could not wish for a more loyal and capable assistant. He had been called upon to carry out many duties which were not part of his ordinary work. They had opened a new drill hall at Leatherhead and there had been several recruiting weeks and every time Sergt. Pinsent had performed the extra duties with enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and capability (applause). A large measure of the success of the past year was due to his untiring efforts (Hear, Hear). They were sorry to lose him but were glad to welcome Sergt. White and looked forward to another happy and successful year (Applause). Capt. Masters then presented Sergt. Pinsent with a gold wristlet watch, a silver cigarette case and a dressing case, which had been subscribed for by members of the company.
