HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 c2035
82. Colonel YATE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if there is any reason why the practice of permitting officers to obtain articles of equipment at cost price from ordnance stores, which was permitted in France during the War, should not be continued for the benefit of the Army at home?

Captain GUEST

Officers serving either at home or overseas are permitted to purchase from the Royal Army Ordnance Corps any available article of equipment which forms part of the officer's regulation kit.
