Complaints of hardship that, come from ■inea in cam)) siipp'st that some of the :nen are still unaware of their riant to appeal to the Military .Service V.oardi. For example, a man writes from Tn-n----tham camp saying that, he has been declared unfit for active service, that he is needed in his trade, ~nd that he is being, detained aeainsfc his will for home service. , Another soldier protests that be is over the age at which men are sent on active service. These men ought to send their appeals to the Military Sev vice Board, which will have full power to deal with them after he.-.ring the evidence. The right of appeal is tot withdrawn from the soldier until his training has been completed and he is on the eve of departure with his reinforcement. The habit of the military authorities is to fix a date beyond which appeals from members of a particular reinforcement will not be accepted. This is necessary in order to prevent withdrawals from drafts at the last moment.
