23 AGE GROUP
NEXT FOR COLOURS
REGISTRATION IN BRITAIN
(British Official Wireless.) (Received January 26, 1 p.m.)
RUGBY, January 25,
The Ministry of Labour and National Service has announced that the registration of men of the 23 age group would take place on February 17.
This announcement puts into operation the Royal Proclamation made on January 1, 1940, in which an advance warning was given that men between the ages of 19 and 28 years were to be called up in age groups from time to time as required. It is anticipated that some 250,000 men will be affected by this latest announcement, but it is considered that they'will not be called up until the middle of March. The 27-year group is not likely to be called up before November or December.
