Table 13.—Industrial Analysis of all Grade I Men ased Twenty to Forty inclusive, and Air Force and Naval Volunteers, postponed or released from Service with the Abmed Forces following Appeal Board Action. (Position as at 31st March, 1943)

Notes.—(i) These figures include a small proportion of men (mainly in seasonal industries) held back from overseas sorviee but classed as available for Now Zealand service. (ii) The above figures exclude, however, 930 men who were postponed from service on grounds other than occupational grounds. (Of these, 147 were single men. Of the total, 393 were held on account of E.F.S. duties, while 519 were held on domestic hardship grounds.) They also exclude men postponed temporarily from service. (iii) In any estimate of the total number of men held in industry, allowance should be made for appeals unheard on 31st March, 1943. These totalled 5,596 in the classes covered in this table. (iv) Apart from the classes included above, there are some thousands of men in the eighteen years, nineteen years, forty-one to forty-five years, and Grade II classes who were held in industry on Slat March, 1943. As their numbers were at the time in a state of flux owing to the release of the eighteen-year-old and nineteen-year-old classes and the redistribution of man-power as between the Army and industry, no details of these classes are given in this Appendix.
