L/Cpl. Joseph Smith
British Army 6th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Rothes
According to the Moray Roll of Honour my grandfather, Joseph Smith, enlisted in Elgin on 13th of October 1914. As he was born on 4th June 1899 that would have made him 15 years 4 months & 9 days old at the time. The Roll of Honour only states that he served in France. I would really like to know what such a youngster could have been doing to have earned a promotion to L/Cpl before he was demobbed. One thing is for sure, he enlisted as a boy but demobbed as a man.
