     All soldiers, irrespective of their age, are required to report their marriage and the birth of children, in order that these particulars may be recorded on their documents.

     Members are asked to see that all lights are turned out on conclusion of play. Rubber soled shoes must be worn ; black rubber soled shoes are not permitted.
110. THE TERRITORIAL ARMY BADGE.
     Every precaution will be taken to ensure that a badge does not come into the possession of unauthorised persons. Where the loss of a badge is due entirely to unavoidable circumstances, arising out of exigencies of the service, it may be replaced at the public expense, but losses due to circumstances and accidents of private life will not be chargeable to the public. The decision in all cases will rest with the Army Council.
     When a badge is lost, the fact and circumstances will be reported immediately to the Battery in which the individual is serving.
     The Commanding Officer is authorised to make a further issue on repayment after a lapse of two months if he is satisfied that the explanation of the loss is reasonable and that due precautions were taken to ensure the safety of the badge.
     The following categories will be allowed to retain the badge on ceasing to be serving members of the Territorial Army :—
     1. Officers who have served in the Territorial Army for a period of not less than four years, other than Officers dealt with under Territorial Army Regulations, 1936, paragraphs 146 and 147.
     2. Other Ranks who are discharged with not less than four years’ service with a character not less than “Good.”
111. BICYCLES.

112. REGIMENTAL STRENGTH.

113. COMPLAINTS.
     Any complaint an Officer wishes to make will be made to the Commanding Officer through the Adjutant; similarly, any complaint from a Warrant Officer, N.C.O. or man will be made to his Company, etc., Commander, who, if necessary, will lay it before the Commanding Officer of the Unit.
114. CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH MEN IN THE TERRITORIAL ARMY WILL SERVE IN THE EVENT OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
     Men who enlisted on or before 31st October, 1933, and have served continuously since were promised, as an explicit condition of their agreement to serve overseas, that they would continue to serve with their own units.
     Men who enlisted after 31st October, 1933, signed an agreement accepting liability to general service, i.e., to be transferred to any unit without qualification in the event of an Act of Parliament being passed for that purpose in the case of a grave national emergency. Territorial Army Regulations, however, contain an undertaking that all men serving in the Territorial Army before its embodiment will go overseas with their own unit.
     Though every effort will be made to preserve the integrity of Territorial Army Units existing before embodiment, it has become clear that the role which the Territorial Army is now designed to fulfil may make it impossible always to observe these undertakings.
     Accordingly, men now serving in the Territorial Army are being invited to sign an agreement that, notwithstanding any undertaking given regarding their service, they will accept a liability to be available for general service, and, therefore, liable to be transferred to other units, and posted to any unit of the Regular Forces or Territorial Army after embodiment.
     (A.F.E.501D.)
     The necessary amendments to Territorial Army Regulations have been made.
115. PARKING OF CARS.
     With effect from Monday, 1st May, 1939. NO cars, other than those belonging to Officers of the Regimental Headquarters, will be permitted to be brought into this Drill Hall Forecourt, in order that the area may be left clear for Training purposes.
     All other cars are to be parked on the road in rear of the Drill Hall. They are not to be left on the main Bromley Road.

    Sunday training is of equal importance to week-day training and as it only
    takes place approximately one Sunday per month for each Section, it is hoped that
    all ranks will make every endeavour to attend on their particular Sunday.
    Section Commanders are requested to remind their Sections of the date
    allocated and impress the above remarks upon all ranks.

51. DRESS—OTHER RANKS.
    The Commanding Officer has noticed that numerous men are still not wearing
    canvas for parade at this Drill Hall.
    It is pointed out that any man can leave his canvas and side hat in the
    clothing store-room, next to the changing room, in the partition belonging to his
    Battery, if he so desires, or if it is inconvenient for him to go home after his
    business before coming to the Drill Hall. Also it is much to the advantage of the
    men themselves to wear canvas on all parades, so saving their civilian clothes from
    getting stained, worn and torn.

    siderable amount of clerical work entailed when the Territorial Army is embodied.
