Other information
Herbert is recorded twice on the nominal roll. The first entry is crossed out with “discharged to HM Forces 16th April 1943". At the bottom of the list his name is entered again as “joining” 23rd September 1943. The National Registration number is very slightly different but the date of birth is the same.
It may be that he was called up to the regular Army, like Willie Kneebone, until someone realised the importance of his role and returned him home.
