Kings' regulation (ll) Having been irregularly enlisted.

[erin31]

Can anyone tell me what would be the cause of someone being 'irregularly enlisted' in the army?

Under age perhaps?

Hi Shaun. No, was not underage, he gave his correct age.

Still looking for clarification but found this:

Saw that - lots of possibilities!

Thank you both for your links.
I cannot find anything that stands out. Strangely enough two of his brothers lied about their age when they enlisted, and it was never picked up.
He was a labourer, and his medical record was good.
Guess the only way I will know, will be if I can find and view a report about his enlistment.
