Military Tribunals – Ernest Albert YEATES

Mr Roberts appeared for Ernest Albert Yeates, married, Badsey, a market gardener with 5½ acres of land, and working part time as a journeyman baker for Mr. Brewer. In reply to Mr Cholmondeley, applicant said he did no baking; he assisted in delivering bread. He had only had the land for twelve months; he sold a house he owned, and invested part of the proceeds in the land.

Mr Roberts appealed for Ernest Albert Yeates (28), married, no children, passed for general service, a Badsey market gardener with 3½ acres; he formerly worked for Messrs Brewer, bakers, and still assisted them part time. He took the land twelve months ago, selling the house he was living in and investing the money in taking this land. He denied that he took the land with the object of evading military service; he attested before taking the land.
