Territorial Defence Regulation Sets Promotion Rules
A district order limits acting-appointments to higher ranks in the Territorial forces and requires promotion only after qualification. First appointing officers become second lieutenants, with exams for higher grades. May 16 marks first half-yearly officer examination. Wellington telegram notes 15 835 registrations aged 14-21 under the new scheme, with totals by district and a projected 33 885 accountable so far. 71,000 believed eligible for service, over 37,000 forms still needed by June 2. Ashburton area reports uneven registration but ongoing effort with 700-800 potentially eligible, risking prosecution for non-registration.
