The Commander,

WHEREAS by section 6 (4) (b) of the Visiting Forces Act 1939

another force are acting in combination any officer of the
other force duly appointed to command the combined force,
or any part thereof, shall be treated and shall have over
members of the home force the like powers of command and
punishment, and may be invested with the like authority to
convene and confirm the findings and sentences of Courts
Martial as if he were an officer of the home force of relative
rank and holding the same command:

And whereas, by the New Zealand Army Regular Force
(Visiting Forces) Order 1955 issued pursuant to section 6 (5)
of the aforesaid Act, it was declared that the portion of the
New Zealand Army Regular Force that is for the time being
serving as part of the Far East Land Forces is serving together
and acting in combination with the portions of the military
forces of Her Majesty, other than those raised in New Zealand,
to which section 6 of the Visiting Forces Act 1939 applies, and
with which the said portion of the New Zealand Army Regular
Force is for the time being serving as part of the Far East Land
Forces:

And whereas the aforesaid order remains in full force and
effect:

And whereas you have been for the time being appointed to
command that part of the Far East Land Forces being the

Now therefore, pursuant to the New Zealand Army 1950 and
the Visiting Forces Act 1939, I, Charles John, Viscount
Cobham, the Governor-General of New Zealand, hereby
authorise and empower you from time to time and as occasion
may require to convene general Courts Martial for the trial
of such persons subject to military law as members of the
aforesaid portion of the New Zealand Army Regular Force
as are for the time being under or within the territorial limits
of your command who shall be charged with any offence
against the New Zealand Army Act for which they may be
tried by Court Martial, whether such offence shall have been
committed before or after the date of this Warrant or the
date you shall have taken upon yourself the command, and
I do hereby authorise and empower you to confirm the findings
and sentences of district Courts Martial, but not the power
to confirm the findings and sentences of general Courts
Martial nor to confirm any sentence of discharge with ignomin-
y from Her Majesty's service, and imprisonment or detention
exceeding 12 months, or any greater punishment,
and to cause any sentence thereof to be put into execution
so far as you may lawfully so do under New Zealand
military law:

And I do hereby further authorise and empower you to
delegate to any officer under your command or jurisdiction
not below the rank of field officer a general authority to con-
vene general Courts Martial for the trial of such persons
subject to military law as members of the aforesaid portion
of the New Zealand Army Regular Force as are for the time
being under or within the territorial limits of his command,
whether the offences shall have been committed before or
after such officer shall have taken upon him his command, but
not the power to confirm the findings and sentences of such
Courts
Martial:

I direct that the proceedings of every general Court Martial,
or of every district Court Martial where power to confirm is
restricted by the terms of this Warrant, convened by you
or by that last-mentioned officer, shall be reserved for con-
firmation by the General Officer Commanding, 17 Gurkha
Division, Overseas Commonwealth Land Forces, or by the
Adjutant-General of the New Zealand Army, in accordance
with this Warrant.

And lastly I authorise and empower you to appoint and to
delegate to any qualified officer as aforesaid the power of
appointing a fit and proper person from time to time for
executing the office of Judge Advocate at any such Court
Martial for the more orderly proceedings of the same:

And for executing the several powers, matters, and things
herein expressed, this Warrant shall be to you, and to others
whom it may concern, a sufficient Warrant and authority:

And I declare that this Warrant shall without ratification
extend to and invest with the aforesaid authorities and powers
your successors and any officer for the time being appointed
as Acting Commander, 28 Commonwealth Infantry Brigade
