A 27 yr old, married man, with 2 children, enlisted in his local regiment May 1915.
- According to research undertaken WW1 recruits had to be at least 5' 3" ... according to his service record he was 5' 1 5/8" (five feet, one and five/eighth inches) - should they have recruited him?
- do you think he volunteered?
I presumed that he enlisted because he received callup paper, but after doing some research I'm not sure.
