Letter dated 10 May 1916Background to the letter concerning John Robert Clements written 10th May 1916 – John Robert Lied about his age when volunteering to join the army Birth Cert his DOB is 29th May 1898. Army records DOB 29th May 1896, enlisted 5th June 1915 (true age at enlistment 17 years 7days, age declared 19 years 7days). Posted to front 27th August 1916 (true age when posted 18 years 3 months, age declared 20 years 3 months). Discharged wounded 28th June 1917 (true age 19 years 1 month, declared age declared 21 years 1 month). The letter from John Roberts mother is making the authorities aware that her son has lied about his age and shouldn’t (under the rules at the time) be sent to the front until at least his 19th birthday (29th May 1917). Trying to gage his mothers state of mind you need to consider that her son Alfred was killed in action 05/11/1914 at the age of 20 years and 2 months. Her son Horatio was discharged no longer fit for service date unknown, Eventually dying 20th May 1917.Contributed by:
