ACTION COMMAND OP A SIEGE DIVISION. 
43 
amount has not been exceeded that it was suggested above (p. 34) 
that daily requisitions by B.C/s for ammunition should be counter¬ 
signed by the Adjutant, as he would be aware of the orders given and 
of the amount in the depot magazines and by thus checking the 
requisitions can prevent any failure of ammunition supply arising 
from an undue expenditure. 
The Lieut.-Colonel's orders to B.C/s then would take the following 
form :— 
Projectile to be used = C.S. or H.E. 
Average rate of fire = 15 rounds per hour or— 
20 „ ,, ,, etc. 
Total number of rounds = 350 (or 400) to be fired during 24 
hours. 
I have endeavoured to indicate above what, in my opinion, are the 
general duties of the Officer Commanding a Siege Train Division, with 
the desire of calling attention to the subject so that it may not be 
lost sight of among the many and important questions calling for 
consideration from the officers of the Regiment.
