UNIT QUARTERMASTERS
NEW SYSTEM INTRODUCED.
The system of allocating the duties of adjutant and quartermaster in Territorial units to one officer, which has prevailed in the past, has now been cancelled and a new. order of procedure introduced as follows :—
In future the duties of adjutant and quartermaster of units will bo performed by separate individuals, and will not be combined in the person of a permanent officer.
Officers commanding units will appoint regimental officers of lower rank than field rank to act as regimental quartermasters for terms not to exceed two years. These officers will continue to serve under the same terms regarding promotion, seniority, and examinations as the other officers of their ranks. The word "quartermaster,"' in brackets, will follow, in the Army List, the name of the officer acting as quartermaster to his unit pro tern. Officers who at present hold appointments as regimental quartermasters and who have passed the prescribed examination, as combatant officers in that arm may be absorbed into establishment, with, the rank for which their qualified them, and a quartermaster detailed. Officers of this class who have not so qualified for combatant rank, but who .discharge ■ their duties efficiently, may retain tlieir present appointments until they reach the, age-limit of their rank, and will continue to be shown in the Army List as , at present; but in future no officer will be appointed or promoted purely as a quartermaster.
