ARMY ETIQUETTE

I No matter what their experience or knowledge, all officers of the New Zealand Territorial Force will find much of interest and value in the little manual "Etiquette and Customs of the Service," by Colonel ,H. R. Potter, C.M.G., N.Z.S.C. It contains a wealth of information and many useful hints for the education and guidance of officers, and is now in its third edition, brought up-to-date with the traditions and customs of the Army Major-General B. Young, C.8., C.M.G.j D.5.0., General Officer Commanding New Zealand Military Forces, in a foreword, states that although many officers of the Territorial Force have seen service since the- book was first issued and,the customs of tho Army have become second nature to them, there is always the new generation of officers coming on to whom the many points of etiquette and customs are still mysteries. He feels that tho work will be of great value to those young officers, and recommends it to their notice. General Sir Alexander Godlev K.C.B;, K.C.M.G., A.D.C. to H.M. the King, adds his recommendation. This little vade meeum on etiquette in the army evidently meets a. want among young officers of the Territorial Force, as is proved by the steady demand for it, necessitating a third edition.
