Nick Thornicroft Posted 19 February , 2006 Share Posted 19 February , 2006 Tess Quite a few different regiments raised Bantam battalions for recruits below a certain height. Initially rejected for not being tall enough, they were later admitted when the supply of volunteers dried up. The 14th (West of England) Battalion of the Glosters, for example, was a Bantam unit, raised in April, 1915. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
