Subject: [Lon] why would someone in London join the Devon Regiment in 1914 war

I do hope this isn't a silly question, but could someone tell me how in the 1914-18 war did a guy decide which regiment to join.

My ancestor William G Challis, who lived in Chelsea, joined the 2nd Bat. Devon Regiment, and subsequently died 1st July 1916 in one of the Battles of the Somme.

Regards
Angela
