Under-age soldiers

[Dannemois]

This is probably going to be a brick wall but I will post anyhow.

An interesting entry in the WD of the 16th Welsh dated 30th June 1916 at Toutencourt: Pte 23437 M Oregan, Pte 23111 A G Wells and Pte 40044 E W Sharman were this day transferred to 38 Div Infty Base Depot, under Army Council instruction, being under age. I wonder if anyone know anything of these three soldiers, what become of them, did they survive etc.

Pte 23437 M Oregan

Later served as 267956 RWF - discharged 14 Mar 1919

Pte 40044 E W Sharman

Discharged 8 Jan 1919 but had been with the Class W reserve prior to this.

Pte 23111 A G Wells

No obvious MIC I could see for him.

Unable to find Wells on CWGC or on Soldiers who died in the Great War..................as a matter of interest what ages were these young men?

Hi Craig

Thanks for that; are there any clues such as date & place of birth, parents, place of residence on enlistment; would like to find their ages when they signed up.
