When Martin Maher, Sr is attempting to enlist in the Army, the official at the physical examining station announces "senior's" height as 6 feet, 4 inches, and his weight as 200 pounds. While the 200 pounds may have been correct, 6 feet 4 inches would have made "senior" a giant among men in 1917-1918. Later, when "senior" is standing next his son, "junior" is three inches taller than "senior," which would have made him 6 feet, 7 inches tall, which clearly he is not. However, it is clear that the men examining Martin Senior are humoring the old man by adding height to make him meet the weight standards.
