55859: Albert Ville's account of his experience in the army
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1916 To be apparently able bodied and walking about in civilian clothes caused people to stare unless you were wearing a badge of some sort to show that you were on duty in some work or another for your country. Recruiting sergeants walked about and sto My grandfather Albert Edward Ville was born in Tottenham in August 1898 and toward the end of his life when he was living in Edgware he wrote a short autobiography. This is an extract relating his experience in the army during WWI. His discharge certificate shows that he enlisted at St Paul's Churchyard on 19th July 1916 and was initially a private in the 16th Battalion of the London Regiment (Private 698199) but was later moved to the 22nd Battalion of the London Regiment. He was called up in July 1917 and sent to France in December 1917. It is likely that he was soon in the front line as we still have several field services reports (postcards) that he wrote hurriedly to his parents in Compton Terrace, Highbury dated March 1918. After being badly wounded in August 1918 near Ypres, he was returned back to the UK to recuperate in Cardiff. He was discharged from the army on 7th January 1919 as he was ˜no longer fit for war service'. Two of Albert's brothers also served in the army during WWI (William and Lester Ville) and they too survived! Editor's Comment: Pte. 555020 Albert Edward Ville, 16th Bn. (Queen's Westminster Rifles) London Regiment, served overseas in the 22nd Bn. (The Queen's), service no. 698199, and 11th Bn. (Finsbury Rifles), London Regiment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
