September 3.
The defences of the trenches suffer much from the
reckless conduct of the troops in removing gabions,
fascine, ammunition boxes, &c., for fuel. The Com-
mander of the Forces has already publicly forbidden
this practice, and is not disposed to permit his order to
be disobeyed. An allowance of fuel is issued for the Ilse
of the troops in the trenches, and if it is represented as
insufficient it shall be increased, but the defences must
not be wantonly destroyed. General officers command-
ing divisions are requested to give directions to officers
under their command to exert themselves more in this
matter than they appear lately to have done, and to
order that any soldier found in possession of, or burning
any portion of the gabions, faeines, barrels, or other
Ordnance stores, materials, or tools, shall be made a
prisoner on leaving the trenches, and be liable to be
tried by a court-martial for disobedience of orders.
Irregularities have occurred from the payment of
balances to soldiers while patients in general hospital.
It is right that soldiers' accounts should be periodically
balanced, and explained to them at convenient times,
but it is contrary to all regulations, and very prejudicial
to discipline, that sums of money should be paid to them
whilst in hospital—and it is requested that the practice
may be discontinued.
Mr. Eyre Lloyd is appointed Ordnance clerk, and will
do duty under Captain Gordon, Ordnance storekeeper,
