members of the corps were still military personnel and subject to british military discipline and military law. they were accommodated in military camps and paid at the normal british armed forces rate for their rank. they were given tuition in english and either given training in trades or employed in useful projects, often on loan to private contractors, which it was hoped would increase their chances of getting a job in civilian life. a sizeable number underwent professional training, including at university level. if possible their dependents were also brought over to the united kingdom.
