True, but your original thread has been piggy backed. We don't know when the artilleryman referred to in post 23, enlisted. It may be less than 12 months, or more.

Ken Yes, but your advice was to (and quoted) Duncan: 4 hours ago, duncanharrington said: ... My relative died on the Somme on 27 September 1916 and I was uncertain whether he volunteered at the last moment before voluntary enlistment was ended on 27 January 1916, or waited to be called-up. ... Derby Scheme or conscript - he had less than 12 months service. Unless Duncan is mistaken and he volunteered earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
