When he joined up in 1931, he would have been 16 years 9 months.
On the records I have received, his year of birth is shown as 1912, not 1914 and his age as 18 years 9 months.
It appears that he knocked two years off his age to join and was found out.
I have a photograph of him in his uniform at that time and have always thought that he looked very young.

OK Thanks for the information
It doesn’t look like I will be able to clarify further, as I have all his service record and that is all the information that I have.

My dad enlisted in the 3rd Carabiniers - Cavalry of the Line  on the 16th January 1931.
I received copies of his military records and it states that he was discharged on the 4th May 1931, with the reason “Not likely to become efficient having less than 6 months service”
There is another word after service that I cannot read.
Then a reference that looks like “32/0 (via) K.A.
Can anyone interpret this reference please?
I have seen other posts relating to similar discharges and know that the phrase is a bit of a catch all for many excuses to discharge.
This discharge did not stop his enlistment in 1940, when he was promoted to corporal after three months.
A year later he was discharged with Defective Vision 70%.
I suspect that his poor vision may have been the reason for his discharge in 1931, so would be grateful if the attached discharge notice could be interpreted.

I am looking to find the dates that two of my aunts died.
Both died in Wigan
Edith Tickle b 19/5/1901 died Qtr 3 1976 39 2181
Elizabeth Tickle b 18/3/1912 died Qtr 1 1979 39 2927
I know that with these details, I can obtain the death certificates, but at £11 each, that is a little expensive at the moment.
Are there any online databases that show the exact date of death?
Thanks
