Description: | Concept: empire / commonwealth, recruiting, workers Description: whole: the title and text occupy the whole, in black, set against a white background. image: text only. text: NOTICE. RECRUITING FOR OVERSEAS SERVICE IN THE ARMED FORCES. THE POSITION IN REGARD TO RECRUITING FOR THE ARMED FORCES IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT WHICH AROSE IN 1914 WHEN THE FORCES WERE ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT. THE NATIONAL SERVICE (ARMED FORCES) ACT HAS PROVIDED A REGULAR INTAKE OF MEN INTO THE VARIOUS BRANCHES ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS FROM TIME TO TIME. FOR THIS REASON VOLUNTEERS HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED FOR, EITHER FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM OR FROM THE COLONIES, AND PERSONS ALREADY RESIDENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM WHO OFFERED TO SERVE VOLUNTARILY, HAVE, UNTIL VERY RECENTLY BEEN UNABLE TO ENLIST. TRADESMEN AND OTHERS WITH SPECIAL TRAINING ARE NOW, HOWEVER, BEING ENLISTED VOLUNTARILY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR SERVICE IN CERTAIN TRADES AND OCCUPATIONS, AMONG WHICH ARE BLACKSMITHS, BLACKSMITH STRIKERS, BOOT AND SHOE REPAIRERS, CARPENTERS, CONCRETE MIXERS, DISPENSERS, ELECTRICIANS, MASONS, MOTOR DRIVERS, MOTOR MECHANICS, OVERHEAD LINESMEN AND WIREMEN, WATCH AND CLOCK REPAIRERS, WIRELESS ENGINEERS AND MECHANICS, ETC. PERSONS IN ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE CATEGORIES WHO DESIRE TO PROCEED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENLISTING SHOULD, BEFORE MAKING ANY ARRANGEMENTS TO LEAVE THE COLONY, APPLY IN WRITING TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GIVING FULL PARTICULARS OF THEIR TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE. VOLUNTEERS BEFORE BEING ACCEPTED FOR SERVICE WILL HAVE TO UNDERGO A PRESCRIBED MEDICAL EXAMINATION. FURTHER PARTICULARS MAY BE HAD ON APPLICATION TO THE GOVERNMENT OFFICE. BY ORDER, GORDON MANCINI, Acting Chief Clerk. GOVERNMENT OFFICE, 7th November, 1939. | Subjects: | poster | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Publisher/Sponsor: Government Office | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=5145... | Go to resource |
