THOUSANDS MORE MEN
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received December 2, 10.30 a.m.)
RUGBY, December 1,
A Royal Proclamation issued this afternoon requires all British subjects who have reached the age of 20 by December 1, 1939, but who have not reached 23 to register for service. The registration date is December 9. The procedure will be tlie same as for other classes.
■It is estimated that this means about 225,000 more men for services. The new proclamation extends the liability for service to men of 22, and also to those who since October 1 but before December 2 have attained the age of 20.
