Challen, No. 6402104, Royal Sussex Regiment, who, not having the need of a doctor for 15 years, was examined by the Army doctors and in- 163W formed that an operation he had in his childhood did not matter and was passed A I on 15th July, 1939, but was discharged on 28th September, 1940, following the severe winter of 1939–40 and is now an invalid.
