Upon the invasion of Ethiopia by Italy.

"Mobilisation Order by Emperor Haile Selassie - Abyssinia 1936

' Everyone will now be mobilised and all boys old enough to carry a spear will be sent to Addis Ababa '

' Married men will take their wives to carry food and to cook. Those without wives will take a woman without a husband. Women with small babies need not go '

' The blind, those who cannot walk, or for any reason cannot carry a spear, are exempted.'

' Any one found at home after receipt of this order will be hanged.'
