HOME SERVICE.
NEW REGULATIONS ISSUED. (Ry Telegraph.—l'resn Association.) WELLINUTOX. Thursday. Regulations issued to-day define the position of men passed as lit for home service only. They provide for the establishment of a home service branch of the Expeditionary Force, and reservists posted to this branch may be employed within the Dominion on duties connected with the war. The regulations also provide for the transfer of recruits and reservists from one iianch to the other. In cases where later medical examination justifies this course, a home service man may be transferred to the foreign service branch, and put into training. 1 ntil the Minister for Defence otherwise directs, soldiers in the home service branch required for actual service will be called fr ,m those only who volunteer for such actual home service. They will serve under the same conditions as men in the foreign service branch.
