The Artillery and Engineers will remain at Trentham during their whole period of training, while the Infantry at the end of their sixth week, after completing their recruits'"* course in musketry, will be transferred to Featherston, returning to Trentham at the end of their fourteenth week to fire their trained soldiers' course and complete their outfit, etc., Trentham thus will become purely & camp for the Artillery, Engineers and Infantry. The Mounted Rifles, Army Service Corps and Veterinary Corps for each draft will be mobilised at Featherston and will be stationed there permanently, not transferring to Trentham. The reserves will also v be stationed permanently at Featherston. The Medical Corps will be mobilised at Awapuni, Palmerston North, where a permanent Medical Corps comp will be run. , In the two modern camps, Trentham and Featherston, the men for reinorcement drafts will be provided with really comfortable quarters, but it has been decided, in order to hearten and accustom them to camp life, to give every man a full four weeks under canvas.
