Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection).

/u/NMW on "Did older men also lie about their ages during WWI?"
My question about the arrest/investigation/etc in Colonial Williamsburg/America hasn't gotten any attention yet. I did investigate this quite a bit myself without getting a clear picture.
