NOTES:—
(1) Since 1951 there have been certain rearrangements in grouping for census purposes and consequently comparisons between the 1951 and 1957 group figures are not always valid.
(2) The figures do not relate exclusively to general service grades; because of the format of the census as compiled it was not found possible to exclude all departmental grades.
(3) Persons casually employed and civilians employed under the Defence Forces (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1923, or the Defence Act, 1954, are not included.
