REJECTED MEN
TO BE EXAMINED AGAIN. MAY BE! BROUCHT TO STANDARD. BEFORE MARRIED MEN ARE| CALLED. (Per Press Association WELLINGTON, This Day. It is understood* that a special Medical Board is examining the papers of men who volunteered for service overseas and were rejected on medical grounds, so that those classed as permanently unfit for any form of military service may be excluded from the ballots to select men for the forces.
These men are not likely to be 'excluded from the ballot next week to secure men for Territorial training, but they will be excluded from the ballot for the Sixth Reinforcements, which follows shortly. &
Where men are rejected on medical grounds, but are’ not deemed to be permanently unfit for any form of military service it is understood they will be added to the military strength as they are drawn in the ballot .and may be called on as required, either for home service duties or to be re-examined or medically treated to bring them'up to the required standard of fitness. It is probable that many temporarily unfit men will be brought up to the required standard before the married men are called on fot service.
