Records for a Soldier on the Derby Scheme.

[Guest]

Been reading on the LLT about the Derby Scheme and I am interested to know if there are any surviving papers for Derby Scheme Members.

I specifically want to find out when Derby Scheme Members were called up (I was guessing from December 1915) and what category a man with 3 children would be placed in,

They were lumped in with the rest of the WW1 service records so only circa 30% survive.

The groups depended on marital status & year of birth - http://www.1914-1918.net/derbyscheme.html
