Recruiting Presentation
Recruiting has always been important for the Regiment in order to bring in new people to take the place of those that have moved onto other endeavors. These photos were part of our slide presentation that could be given while we also handed out the black and white information sheet run off on the Gestetner machine.
"What are you doing this weekend?" was the theme and the pay rates was the hook. Who could refuse $6.20 a day! Of course a day was anywhere from 6 hours to 24 hours long, so your pay was either $1.03 an hour or a lowly 25 cents an hour. Mind you, if you were on the job for 24 hours we would also feed you 3 meals a day!
Membership in your own exclusive Junior Ranks Club was also a significant draw for new recruits, especially the younger ones at 16 years of age!
