CONVEYANCE OF BAGGAGE AND STORES –

            Avoidable inconvenience and difficulty often arises owing to excessive demands being made for the conveyance of Baggage and Stores on the move of Units from one Station to another; sometimes owing to greater quantities having to be transported than existing circumstances justify, at other times on account of requisitions for carriage being put forward for weights far above those of the Baggage, etc., to be conveyed.

The scales governing the maximum amounts of Baggage and Regimental Stores carried at the public expense in peace time, are shown in the Allowance Regulations, but these should not be considered as applicable to the present war conditions.  The weight of Baggage and Stores to be necessarily taken with a Unit on move of station should be ascertained so far as possible by actual weighing.  The weight of kits should be carefully averaged and should not include packs.

In sending in returns showing the weights to be conveyed, Officers Commanding should give particulars under various headings, such as Officers’ kits, Quartermasters’ Stores, Offices, etc.
