944 – CARE OF FEET –

            The Brigade Commander again calls attention of the Officers Commanding Units, Company Commanders and Platoon Commander to the absolute necessity of careful attention to the men’s feet.

If Platoon Commanders personally see that the inside of the men’s socks are in good condition and boots are properly fitted, no case of sore feet or blisters can occur.

Disciplinary measures will invariably be taken in the case of men who neglect to soap their socks, and consequently fall out on the plea of blistered feet.

945 – TRANSPORT –

            At all recognised halts on the march or otherwise, transport drivers must dismount and the loads must be taken off the pack animals.

946 – DIVISIONAL ORDERS – ATTENTION CALLED TO –

            The attention of Officers Commanding Units is called to Divisional Orders 432 and 437 dated 29^th October, 1915.
