HOME GUARDSMEN IN BALLOT

The number of Guardsmen in No. 12 military area called up In this ballot and passed as fit for territorial service is 471. In addition there was a considerable number of Guardsmen in this ballot who have been classed as grade three by- the doctors. It does not follow, of course, that Home Guard units in the area are to be deprived of 471 members. Appeals have been lodged for many of these men and no doubt a considerable proportion will result in sine die adjournments.
