Pte. Robert Stack
British Army Army Service Corps

My Great Grandfather, Robert Stack, died in WW1 and was buried in Calais according to the War Graves Commission. He originally applied to join the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in January 1915 but was medically discharged as unfit. My question is, how is it that he was too old and medically unfit for the RWF but died whilst being in the ASC and obviously was accepted by them?
Editor's Note: The level of fitness required to join the ASC, which was a support unit, was lower than that required for the RWF which was a front line fighting unit.
