§ Sir RYLAND ADKINSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the Royal Garrison Artillery is closed to youths until they reach the age 231W of eighteen years and eight months; and whether, seeing that youths are now called up for military service at eighteen and that they are then precluded from joining the Royal Garrison Artillery, he will consider the desirability of so altering the regulations as to make the Royal Garrison Artillery open to youths of eighteen?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONRecruits are posted to units in accordance with military requirements. Youths fit for general service between the ages of eighteen and eighteen and eight months are posted at present to specially selected battalions of Infantry.
