Bantam (military)
A bantam, in British Army usage, was a soldier of below the British Army's minimum regulation height of 5 ft 3 in (160 cm). During the First World War, the British Army raised battalions in which the normal minimum height requirement for recruits was reduced from 5 ft 3 in (160 cm) to 5 ft (150 cm). This enabled shorter but healthy young men to enlist. Sidney Allinson has published a thorough study: The Bantams: The Untold Story of World War One.
