I have been putting a portfolio of Family History memorabilia together (as a
present for my brother) and I have noticed something for the first time on a
copy of my father's returned application to 'join-up' in 1940. He was at
university studying chemistry at the time, and in fact was directed straight
into research when he graduated a couple of years later. However, he also
had defective eyesight, and I am wondering if his Category C placement by
the recruiting board was on medical or academic grounds. Is there anybody
who is familiar with these terms and can help me?
Many thanks
