The Government regulations are for two pairs of boots to be supplied to each man.  It is thought however that most men would prefer to obtain for themselves one pair, which they are at liberty to do, and for which an allowance of 12s. 3d. will be made.  It is necessary however that these should be of regulation pattern, viz: – Black, Derby fronts. No toe caps.

As some of the kit cannot be obtained for several days, men will, when warned, turn up in their oldest clothes and bring with them such necessaries as they may require for a few days, e.g., Brush and Comb, Shaving and Tooth Brushes, Razor and Socks.

Notice of Mobilization will be given.
