    granted ration allowance in lieu thereof as follows :—

| Officers | ... | ... | s. d. |

They shall not draw camp or field allowance.

Free rations, or allowance in lieu, will not be allowable when lodging or
travelling allowance is drawn, or when officers and other ranks are dieted in
hospital or on board ship.

Rations for Trainees undergoing Detention.

  1. In cases where trainees are undergoing detention in barracks, and where
    meals are provided from the mess of the unit occupying the barracks, the daily
    allowance for rations per trainee under detention will be at a rate equivalent to
    the cost of messing to the members of the unit.

Medical Officers and Veterinary Officers.

  1. An allowance shall be paid, on the certificate of the Staff Officer in
    charge of a regimental district, endorsed by the O.C. Command, for the medical
    examination of the annual quota of Cadets for transfer to the Territorial Force,
    at the rate of 2s. 6d. per head. Travelling-allowance at the rate of 5s. per mile,
    one way only, will be paid after two miles and up to a distance of ten miles from
    the residence of the Medical Officer when travelling for the purpose of carrying
    out these examinations. The O.C. Commands will ensure as far as possible that
    Cadets for medical examination are collected in suitable centres for this purpose
    in order to avoid unnecessary travelling by the Medical Officer.

  2. The remuneration payable to a Medical Officer for the examination of
    an individual Territorial or Cadet by competent authority for a purpose other
    than that of posting to the Territorial Force shall be at the rate of 5s. per man
    examined. Such examinations will be carried out by one Medical Officer only,
    except where otherwise ordered by General Headquarters.

  3. When attending camps of continuous training or any local camp,
    Medical Officers and Veterinary Officers will receive as remuneration the pay
    and allowances appropriate to their rank in the Territorial Force.

  4. In addition to pay of rank, Medical Officers when attending camps,
    courses of instruction, or when on any duty tour of twenty-four hours, shall
    receive a professional allowance of £1 ls. per day. For this purpose the term
    "duty tour of twenty-four hours" may be interpreted as either a continuous
    tour of duty, as when in residence in camp or barracks, or as when readily
    available for duty if required—e.g., when on call by telephone.

  5. Territorials and Cadets who apply for exemption from military training
    on the ground of physical unfitness must produce medical certificates at their
    own expense. Officers who without exceptional reasons send applicants to be
    specially examined at the expense of the State may be debited with the cost of
    such examination.

Chaplains.

  1. When detailed to attend training-camps Chaplains shall be entitled to
    receive the pay and allowances payable to officers of the Territorial Force of
    equivalent rank.

Pay and Allowances while at Courses of Instruction.

  1. Pay will be issued to an officer whilst attending an obligatory con-
    tinuous course of instruction or other continuous course, provided he remains
    for the period prescribed and obtains a satisfactory report on completion of the
    whole course, or, in the case of a musketry course, is placed on the list of qualified
    officers. If obliged to leave the course in consequence of sickness, duly certified,
    pay will be issued for the period of attendance.

  2. In cases of failure to obtain the report referred to in the last preceding
    paragraph, or where the officer has completed as a continuous period only one-
    half of the course, pay will be admitted for the first half of the course on a
    certificate from the officer conducting the course that he has displayed all proper
    zeal and industry, and has profited by the course.
