Re: First World War service records

For one reason Google "How Did Britain let underage sldiers fight in WW1."
Recruitment Officers were paid for each recruit and turned a blind eye
to any concern about age. 1 in 5 underage soldiers were discharged within a month because they were either too small or they had admitted their age.
Other reasons might be bad character or not being Caucasian.
