War Office,

London, S.W.

121/Supplies/420 (Q.M.G. 2.)

Sir,

            I am directed to inform you that complaints have been received that Units and Drafts are taking rations in bulk when embarking at Folkestone, which causes delay in detrainment and embarkation, and takes up considerable space in transports.  I am therefore, to request that you will be good enough to issue instructions to all Officers Commanding Units, that arrangements should be made for units and drafts to carry the rations for the day of embarkation in their haversacks.

In cases where the personnel of Units is despatched via Folkestone, their transport being sent from another port, instances have occurred in which, in spite of orders to the contrary, bicycles have been taken to Folkestone for embarkation.

I am to request that instructions may be circulated impressing on all concerned the fact that this is not to be done in future, but that all bicycles are to be sent with the transport.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

(sgd) R. Stuart Worthley.

Director of Movements.
