The case of the Battery Staff Sergeants must be considered with 
reference to regimental seniority. 
The above provisions are to meet the case of complete mobilisation 
for home defence : if the mobilisation is only a partial one, such as 
would be the case if it were merely required to mobilise the Field Force 
for Service Abroad, the case of all N.-C.O/s and artificers would have 
to be dealt with specially, in accordance with the numbers of N.-C.O/s 
and artificers available among the reservists of the year or class which 
it might be decided to call out, and this would be done when the 
occasion arose, under the orders of the Officer Commanding Horse and 
Field Artillery at Woolwich. 
The requirements of the Regimental Staffs are similarly dealt with 
by the O.C. Horse and Field Artillery, under the orders of the Deputy- 
Adjutant-General, R.A. 1 
Horse and Field Battery Establishments, Service Abroad. 
The establishments of Horse and Field Batteries for Service at Home 
has been given above in accordance with Field Army Establishments : 
there is very little difference in the establishments for Service Abroad, 
the difference being due to the addition both in Horse and Field Bat¬ 
teries of one artillery wagon for reserve rations, and one ammunition 
and store wagon for tents, necessitating an increase of five drivers in a 
Horse Battery and four drivers in a Field Battery: the fact that there 
are five drivers additional in a Horse Battery as against four in a Field 
Battery is due to the fact that the extra wagon (ammunition and store) 
for supplies in the Horse Battery has three pairs of horses, whereas in 
a Field Battery it has only two pairs. 2

<c Mobilisation Store Tables 39 are issued to officers commanding all 
units : these tables vary considerably, according to the peace establish¬ 
ment of batteries, and also in minor details, according to whether they

at Aldershot on the highest peace establishment are supplied with 
special tables for Service Abroad.
