tionary Force they resume rank and precedence in the New Zealand Permanent or Territorial Force (as the case may be) as shown in the New Zealand Army List.

NOTE 2.—The following explanation will make clear the meaning and intention of regulation 10:—

If A1, A2, and A3 = Officers of New Zealand Permanent Staff joining New Zealand Expeditionary Force on various dates

and B1 and B2 = Territorial officers or officers on Unattached Lists joining New Zealand Expeditionary Force on various dates

and C1, C2, and C3 = Officers on New Zealand Reserve List joining New Zealand Expeditionary Force on various dates

and D1 and D2 = Officers on New Zealand Retired List joining New Zealand Expeditionary Force on various date

then—

If D1, B1, A1, C1 are gazetted to New Zealand Expeditionary Force on 5th August, 1914, they are to be placed as follows: A1, B1, C1, D1;

And if C2, A2 are gazetted to New Zealand Expeditionary Force on 16th January, 1915, they are to be placed as follows: A2, C2;

And if C3, B2, A3, D2 are gazetted to New Zealand Expeditionary Force on 18th May, 1915, they are to be placed as follows: A3, B2, C3, D2.

The correct order of seniority of all above officers is therefore A1, B1, C1, D1, A2, C2, A3, B2, C3, D2, not A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2.
