There must've been some taller ones. On another line, another relative who fought in WW1 was over 6'0", so he must've stood out from the crowd! I recall him as being immensely tall even as an old man - he towered over my Dad, who was no tiddler at 5'11" himself, when they stood together.
Perhaps that's why 5'2" seemed so small to me....
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

I have no doubt there were taller ones, it's just that as yet I've not come across them. Coming from a family of relative midgets anything above 6' seems huge.

My husband's grandfather was tall about 6' 2", he was in the Royal Fusiliers, no  service record online as he continued service after 1920, though he is listed in the RF discharge papers online.  He was in the military band and also goalie in the regiment football team 😄

As a midget myself, all my in laws tower over me lol! Most people tower over me...
