Sydney John Smith enlisted in the AIF in December 1915, a month before his 52nd birthday. On his enlistment form he put his age as 44, that is, just below the maximum enlistment age of 45. He served in England as a driver with Australian Army Service Corps from January 1917 until he was repatriated in December 1917 because of his age. [JSB]
