Think age wise he would have been outside the limit as it was only raised to 51 in April 1918 .

Sorry Shirley, I beg to differ. My grandad came out of retirement and was killed in WWII, on active service, aged 54, so it's just as feasable that a skilled artillery man would come out of retirement in WWI, as manpower was even harder to come by then.
