It is to be the duty of any man whose certificate has been withdrawn, or who no longer satisfies the conditions on which it was granted, to transmit it forthwith to the local office of the Ministry of National Service.

VOLUNTEER OBLIGATION Every man granted a certificate of exemption is to join the Volunteer Force for the perid of the war, unless the tribunal dealing with the case orders to the contrary. CONVENTIONS WITH ALLIED STATES The act is to be read with previous acts in relation to the act of 1917, which confirmed conventions with allied States making subjects of those States in this country liable for military service. That act is also to apply to Ireland, if the act is extended to Ireland. EXCEPTIONS The exceptions from the act are the following: 1. Men ordinarily resident in the Dominions. 2. Members of the regular or reserve forces or of the Dominion forces, and territorials liable to foreign service. 3. Men serving in the navy, the Royal Marines, or the air force. 4. Certain categories of officers and men who have left or been discharged from the forces in consequence of disablement or ill-health; and men medically rejected, if, on further medical examination after April 5, 1917, they have been certified to be totally and permanently unfit for any form of military service. 5. Men in holy orders or regular ministers of any religious denomination. British Aid to Italy General Plumer's Dispatch The report was published May 10, 1918, that 250,000 Italian troops had been concentrated in France to swell the reserves of the allied armies against the German offensive, and that this had been accomplished without weakening the Italian front, which was preparing for a threatened Austrian attack. No statement was made regarding the British troops that had gone to Italy's aid during the disaster to the Italian armies in 1917.
