Mick M Posted 28 July , 2022 Share Posted 28 July , 2022 Were men of this age being conscripted in 1918? DOB 10.3.1869 age 49 5/12. His civilian occupation is shown as Coachman so nothing drastically important to the RAF's needs. In 1911 his occupation was given as boot repairing trader (employed). Pic courtesy Ancestry.
