Photo Restore - Trooper Tickle HQ Squadron, 3rd Carabaniers

So he must have been a boy soldier. Perhaps the old regimental numbering system persisted for boy soldiers. He was discharged on 4 May 1931 under Kings Regulations para 370 (VIa) which I think is medical grounds. He would only have been around 17.

The FindMyPast transcription must be incorrect as to the enlistment date. The ledger in question covers 1919-1934 enlistments and they may have used the first year as the default if no date was stated.

Thank you for the response.
I haven’t got a Findmypast subscription at the moment, but will check when I am able.
I will apply for his army records and see if these will provide more details.
