See photo of John with Mother and son Charles and Brother William
You will see that John was very short. William was 5'8" (1.7m). John was 5'2" (1.55m) 111 tall and this is confirmed from the photo.
John enlisted in the Army in the First World War, although he was 47 years old at the time, and had 6 young children still living at home. He signed up for short duration but spent 4 years in the Army. In this time he was at all the major battle scenes. Fortunately, he was a labourer, involved in delivering provisions, so probably avoided the front line. 111
See personal details and details of his military career.
He is mentioned in the National Roll of the Great War which gives details of his sterling efforts in the war.114
See National Roll of Great War
It seems that John was present in every major battle of the war, but probably not in the front line because of his age. Apart from John being mentioned in the National Roll of the Great War, so were his wife and three of his daughters (see below).
Elizabeth Sarah Tucker was born in 1872 in Kingsbridge Devon.15
Elizabeth was mentioned in The National Roll of the Great War as a Special War Worker. 114
