И, кстати, какие, нах, добровольцы?! Кадровая армия. Курите, хотя бы, вики.

The Military Service Act of 1917 was a controversial law allowing the conscription of Canadian men for service in the final years of the First World War. Although politically explosive, the Act had questionable military value: only 24,132 conscripted men made it to the battlefields of the Western Front, compared to the more than 400,000 who volunteered throughout the war.https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia....y-service-act/






Between 1916 and 1918, 134,393 men were called upunder the monthly ballot system. A further 2876 men were called up under the so-called ‘family shirker clause’, by which the Defence Department could call up the sons of families from which no one had volunteered. It also called up 213 men under section 35 of the Act, by which men found not to have enrolled for conscription could be sent straight to camp without being balloted. This raised the net total of men called up under the conscription system to 138,034. More than half those balloted were rejected as medically unfit or exempted for other reasons, with an estimated 32,270 conscripted men actually being sent to camp. Of these, 19,548 – around 20% of all New Zealand’s First World War servicemen – embarked for the front in 1917 and 1918. Of these, around 80% were volunteers and 20% conscripts

The referendum of 28 October 1916 asked Australians:
Are you in favour of the Government having, in this grave emergency, the same compulsory powers over citizens in regard to requiring their military service, for the term of this War, outside the Commonwealth, as it now has in regard to military service within the Commonwealth?
The referendum was defeated with 1,087,557 in favour and 1,160,033 against.
The 1917 referendum
In 1917 Britain sought a sixth Australian division for active service. Australia had to provide 7000 men per month to meet this request. Volunteer recruitment continued to lag and on 20 December 1917 Prime Minister Hughes put a second referendum to the Australian people. The referendum asked:
Are you in favour of the proposal of the Commonwealth Government for reinforcing the Commonwealth Forces overseas?'
Hughes’ proposal was that voluntary enlistment should continue, but that any shortfall would be met by compulsory reinforcements of single men, widowers, and divorcees without dependents between 20 and 44 years, who would be called up by ballot. The referendum was defeated with 1,015,159 in favour and 1,181,747 against.

Канадцы обязательный призыв приняли только к концу войны. Новозеландцы в 1916. Австралийцы так вообще не принимали всеобщего воинского призыва, они провели 2 референдума и на них народ 2 раза проголосовал "против". Смотрите цифры, по добровольцам(красным) и по призыву (черным).
