    kit-upkeep gratuity of £1 10s. will be credited to all men on each appearance
    for compulsory training as laid down, provided kit is complete and in good
    order; except that in cases in which a man is permitted by the regulations
    to carry out a shorter period of training every year, instead of a longer
    period every alternate year, credit for the allowance will not be made
