| Description | North Riding appeal tribunal number: 3145
Appeal against conscription of: F W Woardby
Age: 21
Address: Pennyholme, Kirbymoorside
Occupation: Quarry man
Local tribunal: Kirbymoorside Rural District Council
Central tribunal: No
Military Service Act 1916 or Attested: Military Service Act
Grounds for appeal: Not stated
Appellant: A e Saunders, Military Representative
Summary of case: Appellant states that Woardby is not in a certified occupation and that is does not seem right that a man of 21 should be granted exemption wholly on the grounds that his mother is bedridden. A previous certificate has been granted on grounds of hardship. If his father and mother are wholly dependent on him, the amount of allowance they would receive from the government would probably be sufficient to provide suitable female help to look after his mother.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 22 Mar 1917. Allowed, certificate cancelled. Military appeal |
