   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.)
