| Description | North Riding appeal tribunal number: 5002
Appeal against conscription of: Gregory Constantine
Age: 34
Address: Star and Garter Hotel, Middlesbrough

Local tribunal: Middlesbrough Borough Council
Central tribunal: No
Military Service Act 1916 or Attested: Attested
Grounds for appeal: a) continue in current occupation
Appellant: John Joseph Russell, employer
Summary of case: Even though 'absolute exemption' had been granted in the past this was withdrawn 17 Apr 1918 as it was deemed no longer in the national interest that this man remains in his civil employment. John Joseph Russell appeals against this decision stating that the Star and garter is under the Admiralty for housing men who have been released from their colours for work in the shipyards, and therefore as manager of the hotel Constantine is indispensable.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding appeal tribunal: 4 May 1918. Dismissed. |
