It is intended primarily for young men, who are not im- . mediately lable for service but who feel that they are not making the fullest contribution to the national effort. They wiil form additional companies for certain home defence battalions for special service in this country.
Application for enlistment in the young brigade should . be made as soon as possible at any Army recruiting office,
Applicants will be required to enlist for general service for the duration of the war.
It is intended to transfer them at the age of 20 years to train- ing units for service in the field army.
