Thank for your note

He was born 26th Feb 1879
DSO LG Citation 27 Sept 1901

making him 22 years and 7 months.

F E Hunt's dob and citation date would clarify the position.

Hunt was born 15 Dec 1879
DSO LG citation 23 April 1901

That makes him 22 years and 113 days.

Would be interesting to see if there is a younger DSO winner.
