A man is born in 1875, lies about his age and joins the Army in 1890 (have records). Deserted in 1892 and disappears. Turns up in Dublin in 1905 and we believe was with irish Milita (something like our T/A's). Is thrown out for non-attendance. He is in England again by 1907. Is it likely he would have (a) been able to join up again (b) been called up for WWI or (c) would he have been too old.

This is my Granddad about whom I have conflicting information. My Mother told so many porkie pies or maybe she had been told these untruths and, therefore, didn't know any better.

If someone has any ideas on this I would be very grateful.
Thank you
