TERMS OF SERVICE.
IN connexion with our explanation of the conditions required for enlistment in the Regular Army, we are glad to learn that in the latest leaflets issued by the War Office all reference to " three years" has been omitted. The conditions are now perfectly simple, and are stated as follows in a handbill of which we quote the essential portion :—
NOTICE.
MEN ARE REQUIRED for all branches of the Regular Army,
and, if medically fit, will be accepted on the following conditions :—
FOR THE DURATION OF THE WAR :
Height, 5 feet 3 inches and upwards. Chest, at least 34 inches.
Age, if ex-regular soldiers, 19-42 years ; other men,
19-30 years.
Married men or widowers with children will be accepted and will draw separation allowance under Army conditions.
Men wishing to join should apply at any Military Barrack or at any Recruiting Office; the addresses of the latter can be obtained from Post Offices or Labour Exchanges.
GOD SAVE THE KING.
