Mess and obtaining drink under false pretences.’
Transferred to the Labour Corps in January 1918 in consequence of defective vision, McKnight ended his service with Northern Command employed in a variety of duties, including guarding shipyards. He likely returned home to his wife and three children in Belfast upon demobilisation in 1919.
