Army call-up for 79-year-old

“Mr Albert Sadler, Avenue Road, Harold Wood, Essex, who is 79, has received his calling-up papers for service in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment for the second time,” read The Post.

“He received his first in May and ignored them. He is now told that if he does not send the information required, it will be assumed he is available for service. He said he does not propose to do anything in the matter.”
