K. L., North Camp, Aldershot, should be discharged and returned to her as he was under age when he enlisted and even now is still under age, as shown by his birth certificate; and whether, seeing the poverty of this woman and her claim that she wants her son's help to support the rest of her family, this woman's prayer will be granted and her son discharged?
