APPEAL BOARDS

Overseas Service DIRECTIONS FOR MEN DRAWN [Per Press Association! ( WELLINGTON, December 4. { Hon. R. Semple said to-day that appeals against overseas service, which must be lodged by Saturday, December 14 will be heard by Appeal Boards,’ shortly to be appointed, and not by the Manpower Committees as for the Territorials. The appeals must be sent in the first instance to the Director of National Service. They may be accompanied by documentary evidence, or by a statement of facts. Further evidence may also be forwarded after the lodging of the appeal. The appeals already lodged against Territorial service will not serve as appeals against overseas service. If a postponement of overseas service is desired, a separate appeal appeal must be lodged. If the Territorial appeal has not been heard, or has been heard and granted, no further action will be taken in respect of such appeal. If, however, an appeal is made against overseas service, and the postponement of such service is allowed, the Appeal Board may direct the appellant to undergo Territorial training until such time he is required for service with the Expeditionary Force.
