SCHEDULE.

Regulations for the Government and Payment of the Royal New Zealand Navy, 1888.

ARTICLE 237: Paragraphs 1 and 1 (a): Cancel and substitute:—

237. Tropical Clothing, Sun Helmets, White Canvas Shoes, and White Uniform Clothing.—A gratuitous issue of three tropical shirts (for chief petty officers, confirmed petty officers, and other ratings not dressed as seamen), three tropical singlets (for ratings dressed as seamen), three pairs of drill shorts, and one pair of white canvas shoes with leather soles is to be made to each permanent rating on first being drafted to a seagoing ship. A similar issue is to be made to loan ratings on joining a seagoing ship, provided that an issue at New Zealand Government expense has not already been made. Subsequent issues of tropical clothing are to be made on the same scale after three years' actual service in seagoing ships of the Royal New Zealand Navy or in other ships employed in the tropics, provided that the rating has not less than one year to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy. For the purpose of this regulation a seagoing ship is any ship which is liable for service in the tropics as defined in Navy Orders issued by the Naval Board.

1 (a). During the present emergency the scale of tropical clothing issued gratuitously and referred to in the previous paragraph is to be reduced to two tropical shirts (for chief petty officers, confirmed petty officers, and other ratings not dressed as seamen), two tropical singlets (for ratings dressed as seamen), two pairs of drill shorts, and one pair of white canvas shoes with leather soles. This free issue is applicable to all mobilized ratings.
