A little off topic I know but related to WW2. I was looking on line through old photographs of Bebington, Birkenhead and spotted one with a line of soldiers think they called them Birkenhead Bantams and every soldier was under 5ft 3ins.Never heard that fact before anyone else?

I remember reading somewhere about Jack Haworth aka Albert Tatlock of Coronation Street fame, who was a serving bantam during the great war.

Were they used for special or different duties ?
