Enlistment Rules Relaxed for Bantams in Australian Forces
The Australian Minister of Defence announced new enlistment standards allowing men under the previous height limit of three inches to join Infantry wire with a five foot six inch minimum. Special service roles such as machine gunners and drivers may accept men under five feet, with district commandant approval. The move aims to boost reinforcements for Australia’s fighting army.
