Enlistment rates

Really needs to be a subject of a separate article with links to the conscription debates and associated plebiscites, exemption courts when conscription was introduced, ....

However, here is a table which compares rates for key periods drawn from McKernan, Michael (1987). "Chapter 24: War". In Wray Vamplew (ed.) (ed.). Australians: Historical Statistics. Broadway, New South Wales, Australia: Fairfax, Syme & Weldon Associates. pp. page 412. ISBN 0-949288-29-2. {{cite book}}: |editor= has generic name (help); |pages= has extra text (help)

Period	NSW	Victoria	Total incl other states
1914	20,761	14,847	52,561
May 1915	5,654	1,735	10,526
June 1915	5,279	3,381	12,505
July 1915	8,961	21,698	36,575
August 1915	12,991	3,983	25,714
Total	164,030	112,399	416,809
Population as at census 1911	1,646,734	1,315,551	4,455,005

A number of issues raised by the figures - differences between the states are quite significant - recruitment during WW1 was state based. Need to work out how to refer to without original reseearch - ie check what those who have written on WW1 recruitment have said.--Golden Wattle ^talk 23:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
