Found it interesting that my grand dad (mom’s dad) was declined for military service during the Great War as he had survived having small pox. I think he survived the 1914 epidemic down here. Suppose they thought he was still possibly a carrier???

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
