We then quickly, divided our company into three divisions, and drew up certain rules, which were strictly kept. We chose a plateau, and marked off about 50 square yards to enclose our would-be camp. Our division or patrol had charge of the camp, with orders to defend it at all costs. Another patrol was to attack and try to obtain possession of it and the third patrol had charge of the ambulance section. Rules for purposes of identification are as follows:—(1) Defenders of the camp to wear full uniform; (2) attackers to remove ties; (3) ambulance patrol to tie handkerchiefs round left arm; (4) officers to act as umpires wL aU tails t0 be left t0 P atl 'Ol leader*; (o) any guide touched between the ankle and knee with staff to count as wounded, and to cease to take part in the game; (6) the attackers to get a third of their number over the boundary to win; this half within an hour and a Before commencing the game each guide was given a slip of paper statuS ,]"?"
