Grave Of Missing World War One Company Serjeant Major Identified In Belgium
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-13)

More than a century after his death, the previously unmarked grave of Company Serjeant Major (CSM) Harry Lowe (born in Derby) has finally been identified and marked.

The family of World War 1 soldier, Company Serjeant Major (CSM) Harry Lowe, gathered yesterday in Belgium for his rededication ceremony. CSM Harry Lowe of the 15th Battalion Durham Light Infantry was killed during the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. His grave has now been formally recognised following extensive research and yesterday, his grave was rededicated accordingly.

The service was organised by the MOD’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), also known as the ‘War Detectives’, and held at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC) Tyne Cot Cemetery, yesterday morning (11 June 25).

MOD War Detective, Nicola Nash, said:

I am grateful to the researchers who originally submitted evidence suggesting the location of the grave of CSM Lowe. It was wonderful to see the descendants of CSM Lowe attend the service in the place of his parents and siblings, who were devastated when Harry was lost. We will remember them.

Company Serjeant Major Harry Lowe, 15th Battalion Durham Light Infantry

Harry lost his life during the Battle of Passchendaele, in action around Glencorse Wood. A comrade later noted that he bravely ‘fell with his face to the enemy’. His body was not recovered and following the war he was listed on the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing.

In January 1921 the remains of an unknown British Company Serjeant Major were recovered close to Glencorse Wood. Artefacts with the remains meant that they were able to identify them as a Company Serjeant Major of the Durham Light Infantry, but further identification proved impossible, and the remains were reburied at Tyne Cot Cemetery, near Ypres. Recently, research has revealed the un-named Company Serjeant Major to be Company Serjeant Major Harry Lowe and now his grave has been identified and marked.

The headstone was replaced by CWGC and will be cared for in perpetuity. Katie Palmer, Records Officer at the CWGC said:

It was an honour to help ensure Company Serjeant Major Harry Lowe’s final resting place is marked. The details of his military service are now engraved on his new headstone, to make sure his sacrifice is not forgotten nearly a century after his death.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Work aspirations and support needs of health and disability customers: Interim findings
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)

This report presents the employment aspirations, attitudes to work and support needs of health and disability customers.

Research background

This report presents the interim findings from the work aspirations project. The report is based on 3,401 surveys and 61 in-depth interviews to explore the employment aspirations, attitudes to work and support needs of health and disability customers. We commissioned this research to develop a robust evidence base in understanding the needs and barriers of health and disability customers. A key area of focus for the government is supporting health and disability customers into work and design of a reformed health and disability system.

Contribution to the evidence base

This interim report follows previous research carried out by DWP in 2019. The previous research explored the same themes as the present project but solely focused on those in the Employment and Support Allowance Support Group (ESA SG) and Universal Credit Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (UC LCWRA). This research expands on 2019 by broadening the population base to include Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), New Style Employment and Support Allowance (NS ESA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit (UC) Health Journey customers in a post-COVID world.

Research value

The interim findings will guide policy as to what barriers to work health and disability customers face, the support needs required to move closer to work, and the types of work that they feel they are able to do.

Tackling unethical international recruitment employment practices in the adult social care sector is a priority for this government. The main aims of the fund in 2025 to 2026 are for regional partnerships to:
- support those impacted by non-compliant sponsors or unethical practice into new ethical, sponsored employment in the adult social care sector
- engage with adult social care providers to encourage recruitment of migrant care workers impacted by non-compliant sponsors
- support work to prevent and respond to exploitative employment issues
NIM08312 - Earnings Periods: Employee starts work part way through an earnings period but is not paid until the end of the next earnings period: Earnings periods in different tax years
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-06)


Regulations 3(1)(a) & 7(3) Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 2001

The principle outlined in NIM08310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim08310) applies. For example, if an employee starts work in March but does not receive their first payment of earnings until April (covering the March and April earnings periods), work out NICs on the earnings for each period separately. However, because Regulation 7(3) does not allow us to treat earnings paid in one tax year as paid in another, NICs must be calculated on the payment due for March using the later year’s contribution rates and limits.Example:
- an employee starts work on 22 March 2025
- the employee has a monthly earnings period (earnings are paid on the last day of each calendar month)
- the employee is liable to standard catergory A NICs
- it is too late for the employer to put the employee on to the payroll for March so the employee receives their first earnings payment, for the period 22 March to 30 April, on 30 April 2025.
The employee’s gross pay is £4,000 which represents:
- £1,000 for the period 22 to 31 March
- £3,000 for the period 1 to 30 April
NICs are calculated on each sum separately as follows (2025 to 2026 tax year):
- monthly Secondary Threshold (ST) = £417
- monthly Lower Eanings Limit (LEL) = £542
- monthly Primary Threshold (PT) = £1048
- monthly Upper Earnings Limit (UEL) = £4189
Earnings payment for March = £1,000
- Employee NICs = Earnings below PT = £0.00
- Employer NICs = £583 x 15% = £87.45
- Total NICs = £87.45
Earnings payment for April = £3,000
- Employee NICs = £1,952 x 8% = £156.16
- Employer NICs = £2,583 x 15% = £387.45
- Total NICs = £543.61
Both sets of NICs are recorded on the employee’s record for the 2025 to 2026 tax year.This principle also applies to weekly paid employees.NoteSee also NIM09800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim09800) regarding re-allocation of contributions for benefit purposes.

In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
