Rural Workers Tentative Militia Training Deferments
Headquarters Eastern Command directs militia training deferments for old fruit pickers and seasonal laborers in New South Wales. Deferrals may apply upon immediate Area Officer application, while those notified to report must attend. Employers may arrange unpaid leave with travel and wage duties, subject to later completion of training. The plan aims to ease labour shortages by broader man power coordination with employers and employees on a State Advisory Committee.
