Hughes Plans Wider Recruiting Train in Home Communities
Major-General Sir Sam Hughes outlined a new winter recruiting plan to broaden opportunities for young men in smaller centres to enlist. Previously 20,000 then 150,000 men were called, with most coming from large urban areas. If authorized, rural enlistment will be expanded with home training tied to village and town size, and a formal announcement is expected soon.
