Transcription

Thank you for your research request regarding George Chambers. I have managed to find an enlistment record for him, images of the entire book and a zoomed-in extract on his record are attached. This confirms that his service number was 4382732 and that he enlisted on 12th September 1921 at Newcastle when aged 18 years and 5 months. So, as you suspected, he did indeed enlist after the Census of 1921 was taken.
