BERLIN - The German army sent a draft notice to a four-week-old baby named Lucio, ordering him to report for duty within the next 10 days, before realising it had blundered.
A spokesman for the army said the notice had been sent erroneously because a clerk typed inthe wrong date of birth for the boy from Aubstadt, in southern Germany.
"It was an accident," an army spokesman told Reuters. "Somebody entered the wrong number into a computer. There was no harm done. We realised the error the same day and called up the family to tell them to throw the notice away when it arrived."
