LIQUOR IN CAMPS
PROHIBITION UNDER ACT ADVICE TO ALL SOLDIERS Prominence is being given by the Army Department to the fact that intoxicating liquor may not be taken into any camp, barrack or fort where members of the defence forces are stationed. This is a standing prohibition applying to all members of the forces and civilians and it was incorporated in the Defence Act of 1909 and its amendments.
According to the Act, a breach of the clause involves liability to a fine not exceeding £2O. In addition to prohibiting any person from taking intoxicating liquor into camps, barracks and forts, it also makes it an offence for anybody to approach them for the purpose of taking any intoxicating liquor to them.
