| Description | North Riding appeal tribunal number: 3058
Appeal against conscription of: John Elijah Mason
Age: 36
Address: 41 Whitworth Road, Grangetown
Occupation: Cycle dealer
Local tribunal: Eston Urban District Council
Central tribunal: No
Military Service Act 1916 or Attested: Military Service Act
Grounds for appeal: Not stated
Appellant: Captain W H C Horsfall, Military Representative
Summary of case: Owing to the greater demands of the Army for men, this single man ought to be serving instead of remaining in civil employment. The local tribunal dismissed this appeal. There is a letter from J W Pennyman of Ormsby Hall stating that Mason was no longer required for National Registration work but had found work as a pipe fitter and continued to work as a bicycle repairer. I think he has fully kept the spirit of the condition, and done his best.
Supporting evidence: Yes
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 18 May 1917. Dismissed Military appeal. See also case no 3058a |
