supply the place of any man of the regular
detail who may not be accepted as fit at
guard mounting or of any man who may

for any reason be relieved from thst duty.
The supernumerary after guard mounting

vices on the guard is not, strictly speak
ing, "a member of the guard" and
hence is liable for other duty; nevertheless
he is man who has been ordered to hold
himself in readiness for guard duty at any
moment, and cannot absent himself from
the camp during this tour of guard duty.
These obligations of supernumeraries
should. be made plain to them by their re-
spective first sergeants. p
