§ Major-General SEELYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative The rules governing the release from the Royal Air Force of boys who gave a wrong age on enlistment are contained in an Air Ministry Order which directs their discharge if they enlisted without the written consent of their parents or guardians, provided that their age at the date of application for discharge does not exceed seventeen years.
