   class shall consist of all married men, and
   widowers with children, between the same ages
   who shall be called second class service men;
   and the third class shall consist of all men
   between the ages of forty years and fifty-five
   years who shall be called the reserve men.

4. The men of the several classes shall be
   formed by the senior officer of each Battalion, into
