WHEN AND WHEN NOT TO SALUTE
New Australian Army Rule
CANBERRA, November 5.
An important relaxation of military regulations relating to the saluting of officers has now taken effect. It removes the existing obligation of soldiers to salute commissioned officers whenever they see them, and to limit such saluting to certain specified occasions.
The specified occasions were set out in an amending regulation stating that warrant officers, N.C.O.’s and private soldiers in uniform are required to salute only
When about to address or upon being addressed by an officer whom they know to be such and at the conclusion of that address;
On parade (except during an exercise in the field, or when under the immediate control of a superior, or when precluded by the nature of their duties from so doing);
When passing or being passed by an officer whom they are able to recognize as such.
