So he was down the mines well before the outbreak of war then, and not 'replacing' conscripted men as you had thought.   That makes more sense, especially as you mentioned that a number of men left from the same village.

If he married before November 1915 then he would probably have held onto his exemption from military service throughout the war, and so unlikely to have gone before a tribunal.
