Amendment.

Regulation 8 is cancelled and the following substituted therefore:—

“8. (i) The number of vacancies for Commonwealth Cadets under nineteen years of age will be published in the Commonwealth Gazette, and. candidates will compete amongst themselves for the vacancies. The order of merit will be determined by adding together the whole of the marks obtained by each candidate in the examination.

(ii) Provided that notwithstanding anything in this regulation, one-fifth of the vacancies allotted annually for candidates under nineteen years of age will normally be set apart for the sons of persons who served in the South African War 1899-1902 in an Australian Force or who have been abroad on active service in the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Imperial Force, or the Naval and Military Expeditionary Force, with the condition that no such candidate will be admitted who receives less than half marks in the aggregate of the subjects of the examination. Should less than one-fifth of the candidates qualify under this provision the vacancies remaining will be offered to other candidates who have qualified at the same examination in order of merit. The order of merit will be determined by adding together the whole of the marks obtained by each candidate in the examination.”
