Text from page 664-665 reads - Unhappy and unsatisfied: Happy and satisfied: A contrast between the troubles of the doubter and the serenity of the man enlisted under Lord Derby's scheme.
On 11 October 1915 Lord Derby was appointed Director-General of Recruiting. He brought forward a programme five days later, often called the Derby Scheme although its official title was the Group Scheme, for raising the numbers. Men aged 18 to 40 were informed that under the scheme they could continue to enlist voluntarily or attest with an obligation to come if called up later on. The War Office notified the public that voluntary enlistment would soon cease and that the last day of registration would be 15 December 1915.
