✨ Military Service Regulations
3030 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 104
-
Every compulsory recruit shall, before being first received into a
camp of military training, or forthwith thereafter, be attested in the presence
of an attesting officer in the form set out in the Second Schedule. -
Every compulsory recruit may, if he so desires, take the oath of
allegiance and be attested in the same manner as a voluntary recruit, instead
of in the manner set forth in the Second Schedule. -
Every compulsory recruit who refuses or fails, when required to do
so by any officer under whose command he is, to appear before an attesting
officer and there to answer all questions submitted to him and be attested
in accordance with these regulations shall be guilty of disobedience to the
lawful commands of the officer under whose command he so is, and shall
be liable under the Army Act accordingly. -
A voluntary recruit may, on his attestation, indicate in accordance
with the form provided in the First Schedule hereto the reinforcement draft
to which he desires to be attached; but if he is a reservist belonging to the
First Division no such indication shall in any manner limit or affect his
obligation of immediate military service as a member of the Expeditionary
Force, and he shall be liable by virtue of his enlistment to serve at any time
and in any reinforcement draft in the same manner as if he had enlisted
without any such indication. Nevertheless effect shall be given to any
such indication so far as the Commandant thinks consistent with the public
interest.
