Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 768 Send Message	I've just been reading the WWl Service Record of a possible relation. In 1908 (aged 18) this man from Clerkenwell, London (occupation -farm labourer!) enlisted at Cork (I presume S.Ireland) into the Durham Light Infantry. I can't figure this out! - a farm labourer in London? He enlisted in Cork - could he have been a 'black & tan'? Should there be a connection with Durham? Any military experts out there - I'd appreciate your comments. M. Steer
