But when Officers of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers are employed
on shore on joint service with Her Majesty's Land Forces, their relative
rank shall carry with it all precedence and advantages attaching to the
rank with which it corresponds, except command as aforesaid.
[Sidenote: To be under command of Senior Naval Officer whenever
assembled.]
19. All Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, when assembled for drill or
inspection, or voluntarily doing any naval duty either afloat or on
shore, will be under the command of the Commander-in-Chief, or Senior
Naval Officer of the district within which such Royal Naval Artillery
Volunteers are undergoing drill or inspection, or doing duty.
[Sidenote: Not to assume Naval Command unless specially ordered.]
20. The Officers and Petty Officers of the Royal Naval Artillery
Volunteers shall command each other, and the Gunners and Buglers of the
Force, agreeably to their respective ranks, in all matters relating to
their duties; but none of them are ever to assume any naval command or
authority whatsoever, unless ordered to do so by their Superior Naval
Officers, and they are to be, in all matters whatsoever, under the
command of the Captain or Commanding Officer of the ship in which they
may be, and of the Officer of the Watch for the time being whatsoever
his rank may be.
HONOURS AND DECORATIONS.
[Sidenote: Guards.]
21. A Guard of Honour may be provided as a matter of course for a member
of the Royal Family, or the Admiralty, on arrival in the neighbourhood
of the headquarters of a Brigade; but in no other case will any body of
the Naval Artillery Volunteers take part in any public procession or
ceremony, or form a Guard of Honour, without the special authority of
the Admiralty or the Senior Naval Officer of the district.
[Sidenote: Decorations.]
22. The only decorations that may be worn on the left breast are those
given by the Queen or by a Foreign Sovereign.
In the last case mentioned, Her Majesty's permission to accept and wear
the decoration must have been granted.
The medal of the Royal Humane Society may be worn.
OFFICERS.

commissioned by the Admiralty.
[Sidenote: Commanding Officers to recommend.]
24. The Commanding Officers of Brigades will recommend for the
consideration of the Admiralty, names of persons for the appointments
and promotion of Officers in their Brigades.
In order to enable the Admiralty to judge the qualifications of the
persons recommended, the Commanding Officer will forward, with his
recommendation, a statement giving the name, age, residence, place of
education, and occupation or profession of the Candidate, as well as a
Medical Officer's Certificate, stating that the Candidate is in good
health and fit to perform the duties of an Officer.
