Short Service attestation form and sworn statement of George Smith/George Melton to join the Royal Artillery on 23 February 1898.
Declaration by George Melton made on 8 January 1913 to Mr TF Bryen of 34 Oakfield Road (Stroud Green, London) that he had enlisted in the Army with a name that he now declared 'to be incorrect'.
Rainy afternoons are good for #Archive research.
Didn't expect to find that #OTD 126 years ago a local #StroudGreen #N4 man, George Melton, enlisted in the Army under the fake identity of George Smith. Anyone know if he was likely to have been punished when he confessed in 1913?
