Well that was unusual, he was too old, so they rejected him I guess, on the grounds of not getting his teeth attended to.   One wonders why he even decided to enlist, if he was over the required age.

Don’t know; but 38 may have been too old.

Added

 "In 1914, recruits had to be 18 to 35 years of age and at least 167.6 centimetres tall with a chest measurement of 86.3 centimetres."

- He would have been too old, and not accepted into the AIF.

I think it was a dental issue.

Something like "Refused to have teeth attended"??

Checking my information once again, Charles Edmund New lived at 7 Banksia Road, Bankstown in 1930 and by 1932 he was living at 63 Little Road, Bankstown.

So we must be looking at the period from 1930 to 1932 when he moved to Kensington where he had the grocery business store.

Looking for information of where this might have been during that period now.
