Mr Semple added that it would be necessary to hold the ballot somewhat earlier than would otherwise have been the case. This did not mean that the men selected would commence training at an earlier date, but merely that they would have :-:o much longer notice before commencing training. The ballot would normally have taken place in June.
The names of the men selected will appear in an extraordinary Gazette to be issued on May 7.
