MARRIED MEN
DATE OF BALLOT
NOT LIKELY TO BE NEXT
DRAFT
So far as the Expeditionary Force ballots are concerned, the question in most minds is when the first married men's ballot is tc> be held.
Although the formation of an Army. Tank Brigade has imposed a sudden extra strain on the area's available manpower—which excludes all single men whose service has been postponed by the Armed Forces Appeal Board- —it seems likely that even after the mobilisation of the brigade has been completed there will be left sufficient men for the next ordinary Expeditionary Force call.
Early this year it was suggested from Wellington that the first married men's ballot would be held toward the end of the year. Later, October began to be popularly chosen as the month for the ballot. However, it now seems probable that the first of the married nun wiil n< i. be called upon until the beginning; of next year. From time to time it has been stated that before a start is made, with the mobilisation of mavriid men all single men who have been granted po>! ponement oi' service would have their cases reviewed. No announcement has so far been made when this scruliny is to begin.
