My understanding from family stories was that my great-uncle
(1891-1918) was colour-blind (red-green-brown). It became clear later
that two of his sisters were carriers.
Is there any likelihood that my great-uncle's WW1 army file might have
such a detail about an officer?
(I could be wrong - which is why I ask - but I expect not, since in
WW2 an army doctor, sent the Ishihara plates to use as required, went
into the mess, asked for somone who thought he might be colourblind,
got one of my relatives, worked with him on the plates for 30 minutes
of so, - and expressed his gratitude for having been shown the
condition before he accused his colleagues of a leg-pull.)
