    3. Remember that whatever answers you get will be the legal answers. Just as boys of twelve were able to get accepted as eighteen year olds, so the elderly were able to pass themselves off as younger. There were certainly sixty-plus year olds, and I would not be surprised to know that there were seventy-year olds. One such was meant to have come from Brockville, Ontario, and was taken to meet King George when his age was discovered and he was sent home, but I have never found his attestation papers. Peter
