119. Members of the Territorial Force shall receive, in addition to pay of rank, extra-duty pay at the rate of 7s. 6d. per day in the case of master cooks, and 4s. per day in the case of regimental cooks, while performing such duties in camps. Cooks while attending camps or classes for instruction shall receive 2s. 6d. per diem in addition to pay of rank.

120. Extra-duty pay at the rate of 2s. per day shall be granted to members of the Brigade Supply and Ordnance staffs for the days they are detailed for duty in connection with brigade or coast-defence camps.

121. When it is necessary for parties of either the Territorial or Cadet Force to be detailed to pitch or strike camp an amount of 4s. per day for each extra day, not exceeding four days, may be paid to N.C.O.s and men so employed, in addition to free rations and pay of rank.

Rations.

122. When attending authorized camps or continuous courses of instruction officers and other ranks shall be rationed free according to scale, or may, with the approval of the G.O.C., or, in his absence, by the C.G.S., be granted ration allowance in lieu thereof as follows:—

s. d.
Officers.. ... ... ... 4 0 per day.
W.O.s, Staff sergeants, and sergeants .. 2 9 ,,
Corporals and privates ... ... 2 0 ,,

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.

123. 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.

124. 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. 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.

125. 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.

126. When attending camps of continuous training, Artillery practices, 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.

127. In addition to pay of rank, Medical Officers when attending camps, courses of instruction, Artillery practices, or when on any duty tour of twenty-four hours, shall receive a professional allowance of £1 1s. 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.

128. Any person liable for training who claims exemption on the grounds of medical unfitness will be required to produce at his own expense a certificate signed by a registered medical practitioner (to be a member of the N.Z.M.C. where possible). Such claimant shall be entitled to a refund of the cost of the certificate up to a maximum of 10s. 6d., provided it states that the claimant is medically unfit and also specifies the nature and probable duration of the disability causing such unfitness. 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.

129. The fees for Medical Boards shall be £1 1s. for the first case, and 10s. 6d. for each case after the first Board on the same day. These fees will not be payable to Medical Officers fully employed by the Government.

130. When a Medical Officer is called out on duty requiring him to travel more than two miles beyond his residence, a motor-car allowance of 5s. per mile, one way only, will be paid for every mile after the first two.

Chaplains.

131. 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.

132. Pay will be issued to an officer whilst attending an obligatory continuous 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.

133. 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.
