Soldier's Gossip previews new Defence Act effects on youth draft
In a column by Bugler, details on the upcoming Defence Act taking effect January 1, 1911. It outlines registration for youths aged 16 to 18, then physical training, and drafting at 18 to 19 into adult units with recruit drill. The piece notes anticipated timelines for widespread impact, discipline expectations, and comments on local militia units, officers, and eligibility. It mentions personnel connected to Bunbury and Katanning squadrons, and credits community supporters who funded medals for the squadron's events and shows notable results at Claremont and royal show competitions.
