  • Sorry another question

    If you were born in France and came here and married another French woman in 1912 when WW1 broke out, would you be fighting for England or France or would you have a choice, or what?

    You would be an enemy alien but you would have the choice to stay, stay and fight, or go back to France. If you stayed and didn't join up, you might be interned, although France was not seen as the enemy really.

      When you say "here" do you mean the UK?

            LOL, yes of course!


            I meant of course that a French person was an alien and as such would not be EXPECTED to fight for England. If they were naturalised (unlikely in such a short time) then they would be called up.
