Captain CRAIGasked the Secretary of State for War when officers are transferred or promoted from one regiment to another, on whom does the expense entailed in the consequent provision of a complete new uniform fall?
§ Colonel SEELYIn the case of officers who are transferred from one regiment to another, on promotion, or at their own request, no public assistance is given in aid of the cost of the alteration or renewal of their uniform. The only instances in which a grant has been given are when units have been disbanded, and the officers transferred to other corps.
