The four sons 'under the colours' [with age in 1914] are likely to be:
Thomas Robert Johnson 32
Robert Johnson 30
Charles Johnson 20
Matthew Johnson 15 (Boy rank I assume)
Three of the sons are still at their father's address in 1911. Robert is missing but they have actually started to write out his name then struck it through.
