[On 5 April 1917 the Chief Electoral Officer sought the Solicitor-General's advice in regard to the enrolment of soldiers in military camps. He stated:]

There appears to be some danger in Divisions in which military camps are located and where a large number of soldiers are concentrated for the purposes of military training that names, which should be retained on the Rolls for the Divisions in which the permanent places of living of the soldiers are located, may be improperly transferred to the Rolls for the Divisions in which the camps are situated.

In cases where there is no existing enrolment to indicate the previous place of living, or the right to enrolment elsewhere, it appears that discrimination as suggested might be justifiable.

I do not think that the camp should be regarded as the place of living-either in cases of transfer or just enrolment.
