Requests for badges by Army applicants should be made to the local Army Area Officer by whom their original application for service was considered. Applicants for training with the Royal New Zealand Air Force are particularly requested to note that with the exception of those candidates who have been medically rejected, no application is required to be made for badges as the Air Department will be communicating with candidates during the next few weeks giving them full information, together with advice as to their provisional training dates. Badges will not be issued to those medically rejected for either the flying or non-flying sections of the Air Force who are eligible for service with the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Candidates in doubt should communicate with the Air Secretary. Applicants who have been rejected for service with both the Army and the Air Force are requested to apply to the former department for their badges. Badges will not be issued to Royal New Zealand Air Force applicants who have not yet been selected and medically examined.
