My Great-Great Uncle, who died aged only 19. He was one of 4 brothers who went to fight in WWI, and only 1 came home. When Robert found out that his brother John had joined up he wanted to do the same. He went along to the recruitment office on the Edgeware Road but he was told he was too young. So he went along to another office and gave a higher age and gave his name as Wyatt (his Aunt's married name). All papers and medals are in the name of Wyatt. His mother tried to get him out of the army, she spoke to her local MP who got her a meeting with the Army Office at Whitehall. Unfortunately all she was told was that as he had signed up, he was in and he stays in.
