You will be given an Armlet bearing the Royal Crown. Opportunities will be given you of voluntary preliminary drill. You will be given a fortnight's notice before you need actually join your unit. You will, therefore, be able to continue your usual work until you receive this call, which will allow you time to give notice to your employer, or arrange your affairs. There are 46 Groups, which are set out at side. The Single men will be put into the first 23 groups according to age, and the men entered upon the National Register as Married Men will be put into the following 23 Groups, also according to age. The groups will be called up in the order of their numbers (but in no case will anyone be called up until he has attained the age of 19 years). In short SINGLE MEN WILL BE CALLED FIRST Men who have married since their Registration, and Widowers without children will be regarded as Single Men. When a Group is called up by Proclamation, any man in that group will be able, if he so desires, and if there are very special circumstances in his case, to make an appeal to be placed in a later Group.
