TERRITORIAL FORCE RECRUITS
ORDER OF POSTING NOT YET DECIDED No definite - information about the order in which recruits for the nonmobilised section of the territorial force are to be sent to recruit training depots for their month’s training can be given yet by the Army. Suggestions that the men -will be posted either according to the ballot in which they were called, or according to their marital responsibilities, or according to a mixture of both appears to be premature. , ~ . , , These factors will probably be taken into account, but it is pointed out by Army officers that strict adherence to them might cause severe disruption of industry, which is what the cadre system of training has been designed to avoid. Men now serving with the Home Guard will remain members of the Home Guard until they are called into resfruit training depots and they are required to perform their obligations with this force until then. It may be months in some cases before they are transferred from the Home Guard. Men eligible for posting to the territorial force are men with not more than three children of grade 1 and 2, though it is unlikely that all grade 2 men will be wanted for some time.
