Class 9 - born 1889 - when called up?

Perhaps someone can put me straight, but I couldn't find a list of actual dates on which the various classes of men were notified of their call up.  I needed to now the date for a man born in 1889, class 9.  Unless I missed, it the schedule is not part of the MH47-142 files you can download for the NA.

Craig, 

 

Thanks for that, I'm getting slow in my old age.

Interesting that the clipping uses the phrase "commenced to be called up".

Obviously all those men could not be called up on 3 March, so not sure it answers your question about when Class 9 were "notified"

 

Did they notify in order of class or was it at random across Class 2 to 12?

Can anyone give any examples from notifications that are in the soldier's records
