Guest MaryB Posted 27 December , 2003 Share Posted 27 December , 2003 My great uncle was born in 1899 and joined first the Kings Royal Rifles, subsequently transferring (or being transferred) to the Royal Irish Rifles. What was the earliest he could have enlisted, and what was the age for conscription? Many thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 27 December , 2003 Share Posted 27 December , 2003 hello MaryB It might be worth reading this, as it lays out the general conditions for joining as a regular, Territorial, conscript, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaryB Posted 28 December , 2003 Share Posted 28 December , 2003 Thanks Chris, hopefully this make make things clearer. Unfortunately Jack's records are no longer available, so I am trying to sort things out the long way round. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
