The attention of the members of the Regiment is called to the fact that the following formations included in the "Schedule of Training" are compulsory for all, and that no one will be excused except through sickness or injury:
1. Sunday, May 21, Regimental Manoeuvres.

5. Tuesday, May 30, Memorial Day. Military exercises and Review prescribed for that day.
