Mr. Wellbeloved

Army careers and information offices are located in Glasgow at the following addresses: 78 Queen Street; 1480 Maryhill Road, Maryhill; 1125 Pollokshaws Road, Shawlands; 3 Crammond Terrace, Springboig.

Mr. Wellbeloved

The number of Service men and Service women recruited at careers information offices in Scotland in the financial year 1975–76 was 4,569, representing 10.2 per cent. of all recruits in the United Kingdom. This compares with 4,327–10–8 per cent.—in the financial year 1974–75. These figures do not include officer entrants to the three Services or non-commissioned entrants to Queen Alexandra's Naval Nursing Service; these groups are recruited centrally.
