Great Britain. Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers
Upon all occasions of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers entering a
Garrison or Camp as a body, the Officer in command must duly report his
arrival to the Senior Naval Officer present, or, if there is not one, he
will wait on the Officer in command of the Garrison or Camp.
[Sidenote: Command at Rifle Shooting Matches.]
60. When the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers are brought together under
arms at Rifle Shooting Matches, on other occasions, with other Volunteer
Corps, or with any of Her Majesty's Land Forces on shore, the Officer in
Command of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, present, shall take
care that everyone under his command complies with all the Regulations
of the Land Forces relative to the Camp or ground on which they may be,
and he shall confer with the Senior Officer of the Land Forces, and act
in concert with him, so that the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteer may in
all cases act in accordance with the orders under which the Land Forces
are acting; but it is to be distinctly understood that nothing in this
Regulation is to give a claim to any Officer of Her Majesty's Navy, or
of any Naval Volunteer Corps, to assume command of any of Her Majesty's
Land Forces, nor to any Officer of Her Majesty's Land Forces to assume
command of any of Her Majesty's Naval Forces.
[Sidenote: Surplus ammunition to be collected.]
61. When the Volunteers, at the termination of an exercise, are to
return by railway or boat to their head-quarters, the arms are to be
examined, and all the ammunition which has not been expended must be
collected and placed in a metal or leather case, with a view to its
being conveyed in safety to the head-quarters.
