or other unavoidable impediment, so soon as possible thereafter)
make application in writing for enrolment in that class
of the Reserve.

(3) Every application made under this regulation shall
state the name, residential address, occupation, and date of
birth of the applicant, together with such further particulars
as may be required by the Minister or specified in any form
provided by the Minister for the purposes of this regulation.

(4) Every such application shall be made by posting it

REGULATION 44.—MEN FAILING TO APPLY FOR ENROLMENT MAY BE CALLED UP FOR SERVICE.

(1) If any man is convicted of an offence against the
last preceding regulation the Director may, by notice given
to him, call him up for service with any armed force, and he
shall thereupon become a member of that force, and all the
provisions of these regulations shall, so far as applicable,
apply to him in the same manner as if he had been duly
called up for service by a notice in the Gazette under Regulation 16 hereof.

(2) Any man so convicted and called up while undergoing
imprisonment, whether in default of payment of a fine or
otherwise, shall be released on the warrant of an authorized
officer; but if he is subsequently discharged from the armed
forces because medically unfit for service or because of the
allowance of an appeal by an Appeal Board, he shall, on the
warrant of an authorized officer, be returned to the custody
from which he was so released, and shall complete the term
of imprisonment in the same manner as if he had not been
released, but the period during which he has been at large
shall be computed as part of that term.

(3) Service with the armed forces for three months continuously shall constitute a pardon for any offence committed
against the last preceding regulation.

VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT.

REGULATION 45.—POWER TO SUSPEND VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT.

(1) The Governor-General may from time to time, by
Proclamation approved in the Executive Council, proclaim that
the voluntary enlistment of reservists, or of any class of
reservists, for service outside New Zealand with the armed
forces, or with any armed force, shall on a day to be specified
in the Proclamation, cease either throughout New Zealand
or in any recruiting district or districts specified in the
Proclamation. Any such Proclamation may be at any time in
like manner revoked.

(2) After the day so specified in such a Proclamation
made with respect to the whole of New Zealand, and while
the Proclamation remains in force, no reservist to whom the
Proclamation applies shall be enlisted in any armed force to
which the Proclamation applies otherwise than by calling up
for service under the provisions of these regulations.

(3) After the day so specified in such a Proclamation made
with respect to any recruiting district, and while the Proclamation
remains in force, no reservist who is enrolled as a resident
in that district and belongs to any class to which the
Proclamation applies shall be enlisted in any armed force to
which the Proclamation applies otherwise than by calling up
under the provisions of these regulations.
