| Description | North Riding appeal tribunal number: 1094
Appeal against conscription of: Herbert Hunt
Age: 20
Address: Agglethorpe, Middleham
Occupation: Ploughman and cowman
Local tribunal: Leyburn Rural District Council
Central tribunal: No
Military Service Act 1916 or Attested: Military Service Act
Grounds for appeal: a) continue in current occupation
Appellant: John W. Simpson
Summary of case: Local tribunal only exempt him until end of August without further right of appeal. Being a certified occupation and the number of stock kept by me is such that I think I am entitled to have him exempted so long as he remains in these occupations. Owing to the war I am now doing with one man instead of my usual two and it is impossible to get another if Hunt is taken and it would cause a diminution of output.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 19 Jul 1916. Dismissed. |
