Conscription in the United Kingdom Hi Welcome to wikipedia You ve had a couple of edits reverted by editors who were looking for potentially libellous information Having checked the birth date of the person you called a conscription evader it seems he avoided conscription by being born British and after 1 September 1939 For more info on conscription in the UK see Conscription in the United Kingdom and may I suggest you read wp blp before making further edits to articles involving living people
