1.—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. The great expansion of the Citizen Forces of Australia, due
to the inttmlttction of Universal Training, and the decision of
l’arlianient that officers as well as other ranks are to be supplied
with uniforiii free, has necessitated the simplification of patterns,
anti the reduction of articles not needed for training or active
service to the mirlitnn(n. All ranks will realize that the changes
made herein are absolutely necessary, not Only (in account t~fthe
great expenditure involved, but also to prevent the work of
manufacture, issue, and accounting for uniforms froni becoming
too conii~Jex.
2. These Orders will coitie into force on 1st July, 1912, the
conimencement of Universal Training in the Militia ~inits, and
~ Commanding Officers are to provide for the new Orders for Dress
as soon as possible.
3. Details in regard to the change of system will be found iii
~ ~ 12 to 4G.
4. On completion of the chatige, I )istrict Cojitniandants and
Coot t an(l~ngOllicers will be held responsible that no deviations
~, from authorized patterns are pernutted.
