the name, address, or occupation of any man so called up.
(5) In addition to the notice in the Gazette published

Director shall, so far as practicable, give notice to every man
called up for service with the armed forces, by registered letter
addressed to him at his last known address, that he has been

provisions of this regulation.

(3) Every man who pursuant to this regulation is trans-
ferred or deemed to be transferred to any armed force shall
