Lieutenant Colonel F.F. Colvin ,
Retired pay ,
With reference to your letter dated the 10th April 1919 , reporting your arrival from Germany , I am commanded by the Army Council to inform you that in accordance with the Council's decision that all Reserve officers and Retired Pay officers should now be relegated to unemployment , it is regretted there is no alternative but that you should revert to unemployment as from the date on which you disembarked in this country , i.e. the 9th April 1919 .
I am to take this opportunity of conveying to you the thanks of the Army Council for the valuable services you have rendered during the war and their regret that they are unable to use those services
