[The Lord Derby Plan. The organisation of regiments. The above plan regarding the joining of regiments was reopened Monday, January 10th
1916, and shall remain open until further notice is given. All men, whether single of married, between the ages of 18 and 41 years who have
not yet enlisted should do so immediately in the nearest enlistment station. Those whose regiments have been called up shall receive a
month’s notice from the day of their enlistment.]
Edward George Villiers Stanley (1865-1948) was a politically ambitious English aristocrat whose accession to the title
17th Earl of Derby, in 1908, enabled him to enter Britain’s Parliament via the House of Lords.
Although Derby was a noted critic of the Liberal Government’s pre–war social reforms, his opposition to conscription earned him a place in
Herbert Asquith’s wartime coalition. As Minister of Recruitment he devised the ‘Derby Scheme’, which encouraged men to register voluntarily
for military service, only to be called-up when necessary. As further incentive it was guaranteed that married men would not be enlisted
until all single men had been mobilized.
Despite much publicity the Scheme only secured 350,000 volunteers and was abandoned with the passing of the Military Service Act in January
1916, which introduced conscription.
