On 5 January, 1921, Grant-Dalton recorded that Pender had "committed himself by exceeding limits of consumption of alcohol which I imposed upon him. Upon consultation with senior medical officer, I am of the opinion that his lapse is entirely due to medical causes. I have accordingly directed him to be sent to Hospital as a neurasthenia patient in preference to taking any disciplinary action."[5]
