Requisitions for small arm ammunition, in accordance with the
established proportion, are to be forwarded to the Commanding Officer of
the nearest Drill Ship or District Coast Guard Ship for transmission to
the nearest Control Officer. Special demands should be forwarded to the
Secretary of the Admiralty by the Captains of the above ships for
approval, on Form given in Appendix E.
74. Every Brigade is required to provide a secure place for the custody
of its small arm ammunition; but in cases where the store of ammunition
is sufficiently large to make it desirable that it should be stored in
the magazines of any of Her Majesty's ships, used as Drill Ships for the
Volunteers, Commanding Officers of such ships will afford facilities for
its reception.
[Sidenote: Conveyance of Ammunition.]
75. Every care is to be taken in the conveyance and general handling of
ammunition, and the Regulations and customs of the Royal Navy in that
respect are to be strictly adhered to.
[Sidenote: Metal Cylinders, &c.]
76. Metal cylinders, or leather cartridge cases, for conveying the
surplus ammunition collected from the pouches of Volunteers, under the
provisions of Article 61, will be supplied at cost price.
[Sidenote: Return of articles unserviceable or obsolete.]
77. No article of equipment will be returned into store for the purpose
of being replaced, until it has become thoroughly unserviceable. No
articles will be returned into store on account of being of an obsolete
pattern without the authority of the Admiralty.
[Sidenote: Stores lost or injured to be paid for.]
78. All arms or other stores supplied free of cost and placed in the
custody of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, are, if lost,
destroyed, or injured by fault or neglect, to be paid for by the Corps.
[Sidenote: Demands for Stores.]
79. All demands for stores, in accordance with the established
proportion allowed, are to be made out in the War Office Forms in use in
Her Majesty's Navy, and are to be forwarded by the Commanding Officers
of Brigades to the nearest Drill Ship or Coast Guard Ship for
transmission to the nearest Control Officer. Special demands should be
forwarded to the Secretary of the Admiralty for approval by the Captains
of the above-named ships.
