Mr. Strachey

At least 24 hours before any court-martial is to be held the headquarters at which the court-martial is convened post, in a place which is accessible to the public, a list showing the name, rank and number of the accused, the date, time and place of trial, and the section or sections of the Army Act under which the accused is to be charged.
