As bad as men were needed, I am sure he was not turned down if he enlisted and if he was able to serve. Thanks, Joyce. I was thinking in a box and thought only of fighting men, not the support the younger men would need to make them fighting men. So yes, any able bodied man, I suppose, could have enlisted if he had a particular skill that was needed. Since then, I've found others born in the 1890's who enlisted in 1942. Shirley
