Military Tribunals – Alfred Cecil WILKINS

Mr William Wilkins, Badsey, applied for this two twin sons, William Charles and Alfred Cecil. The case was heard in private.

Mr Geoffrey New appeared in support of appeals in respect of Charles William Wilkins and Alfred Cecil Wilkins, twin brothers from Badsey. Mrs Wilkins gave evidence. Land was taken for the two lads over two years ago, but it was only put into their names when they became 21 years of age in October last. Each son had 2¼ acres of land and their father (who had bad health) had 10 acres, and had only the two lads to help him. Charles William Wilkins was drayman to his father. Medicinal herbs were grown on the land. Mrs Wilkins said she was willing for one of her sons to go into the Army.
