Discharged unfit
« on: Tuesday 16 September 25 17:48 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with the two words above "unfit", please as the reason for this soldier's discharge from the army four days after enlisting for WW1.

Many thanks

Well, I wouldn't have got that in a million years.

Thanks so much Shaun.

I was surprised to see hammer toes, as I was expecting to see "flat feet".

Hammer toes are far more painful than flat feet  as I know to my cost.  Neuropathy has turned my  straight toes into hammer toes.
