	There appear to be discrepancies over the age recorded in respect of Pte G A Brown at various stages. If the family history research results are correct, then he would have been 18 or 19 when he re-enlisted in the DLI in 1931, and not the 27 shown in the Enlistment Book. If that was the case, it suggests he was possibly under age when he joined the Royal Berkshire Regiment - unless that was on "boy service" - perhaps as a Drummer/Bugler, although we don't know the dates of that service. CWGC shows him as 27 at the time of his death which, if he was born in mid-late 1912, would have been correct.
