Social Class of ADRIC recruits

In an effort to codify the background of the men who joined the ADRIC, I have looked at the job of their father as given on censuses at the time of their birth. I believe that this gives an indication of their background and level of education. I accept that not everyone fits the mould, but I feel that it is as good a way as you will get of seeing the level of "sophistication" of the average ADRIC.
