Ever wondered how the Army organised Billeting? Well this manual covers that and muchj more. Its full title is 'Notes for Guidance of Commanding Officers, Staff and Regimental Officers 1944 Regarding Allowances,Amenities,Funds, NAAFI Etc, and Quatering, Billeting,Requisitioning,Fire Precautions' Original rare manual, covering the large range of interesting subjects for those interested in how the army actually worked. It was published as a revised in edition on June 30th 1944 and was presumeably the up to date information for administrative and billeting officers dealing not only with the vast numbers of men still needing billeting in the south of England but also the forthcoming requirement (especially when winter came) to find billets in France. This is the only one of these we have ever seen. 43 pages This is a fascinating insight into how records were maintained and the correct way ion which they should be issued and would be ideal for any re-enactment group looking to issue correctly formed part 2 orders or portray office procedure Instructions are given also for how to complete individual records and covers everything from ship's staff to drunkenness, injury,prison sentences, refusal to have vaccination (didn't know you could!) and much more then 68 pages, Good condition (tiny damage to a couple of pages). The only one of these we have ever seen!
