JOIN THE WORCESTERSHIRE REGIMENT! Worcestershire has a proud record in the matter of recruiting and no unnaturally, the military authorities are keenly desirous of maintaining that honour for the county. The number of recruits have, we understand, diminished lately and it is considered necessary to urge the county to stronger efforts to keep the flow of volunteers up to the high level of the past twelve months. It is with this object that a new campaign will be initiated on September 21, from which date it is proposed that military bands with recruiting officers and staff shall tour the country up to October 2.
Worcestershire Yeomanry. There are some vacancies in above regiment for a limited number of exceptionally good men. Apply to the recruiting office, Silver Street, Worcester or any recruiting station.
