Discharged after Gallipoli, listed as imbecility?

Thank you for finding that out for me

Can't see any Fred Fosbuary deaths after 1939.
The other Fred Fosbury deaths don't fit with his age.

As with many folk of that era, name and age could be quite fluid.

If he was born in Hampshire then it looks as though he was born  in 1882, making him 33 in 1915 not 26.

I feel fairly sure that given the stringency of early recruitment, such  unsuitability would have been picked up much earlier than even the first parade, and that during training, fellow recruits, NCOs  would have reported the facts, thus preventing his posting to anywhere but the home front. Probably knocked about as th4 phrase went by action, shelling, privation. Also malaria dysentery rife in Gallipoli, could have a knock on , onan individual with a weak constitution.  Maybe survived too many scrapes and lost the plot.
