*Letter from Brigadier Mackenzie to [[Percy Wilfred Machell|Lt-Col. Machell]]: "Before a battalion leaves its present station the horses are to be examined by a veterinary surgeon. Should any be found unfit to travel, and found to be suffering from contagious or infectious diseases, local arrangements are to be made for their care until they are able to rejoin their units. Officers Commanding Battalions will be most particular to ascertain from householders and damages to [[billet]]s during the stay of their men in the town, and if possible they should be made to sign a form together with the last payment, that no liabilities for damage are outstanding. If there is any possibility of complaints from any farmers, or any other people who have lent ground for manoeuvring purposes, they should be investigated before the battalion leaves. Any unused Ordnance maps in the possession of units should be returned." <ref>{{lowther|recno=120}}</ref>
