Hi List, The family of Albert FRENCH had his age added to his memorial as he was one of the enthusiastic youngsters that joined up in the early days of the war and died just short of his 17 birthday.

If at the time the family did not answer the request, then a family could later (and, I believe, still can) add an inscription. I suspect that only obscenities were not allowed. I must admit I have never counted to see how many letters were used, but there are some very factual inscriptions: SHOT AT DAWN was allowed, and Kingston's youngest deceased simply had his parents' names and address.
