    Hi ...erm i was just under the impression that kids lied about their age to get in the army and fight but as you say he joined as soon as he legally could bless him, and the war was still ongoing in the April of 18 when he joined albeit until November.

    so he was born in 1900 so i wonder why he didnt join the forces in 14/15 , I know he was a skilled man he was a welder and sheet metal worker , would that have some bearing on why he didnt go and fight ?
