Hi Thanks to all listers who have posted replies to my question about whether agricultural workers could gain exemption in WW1. If other listers have specific info about agriculture rather than any other form of exemption I'd still be delighted to hear more. I possibly should have explained that I am trying to find a reason why so few men from a small agricultural community joined up when compared with statistics for the whole country. So far this is the only answer I can come up with. If anyone has better ideas I'd love to hear them! Thanks again Sue Laffey
