ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT-GENERAL Roya ARTILLERY IN INDIA, 
TxE recent introduction of changes in the dress of the Royal Artillery 
in India will, I think, be found to be of considerable interest to all 
ranks of the Regiment. 
It will be remembered that Army Order, No. 13 of Ist January, 1894, 
introduced at home the new system of clothing accounts, and divided 
the soldier’s clothing into two classes, “personal”? and “ public.” 
This division,as made applicable to India,is given below. (I have 
omitted all not belonging to R.H.A. or R.A.) 
PERSONAL, Pusuic, 
Tunics, Haversacks, 
Frocks, Serge, Jack Spurs, 
Jackets, (dress and undress), Cloaks, 
Trousers, Great Coats, 
Knickerbockers, Capes. 
Pantaloons, 
Gaiters, 
Forage and Field Caps, 
Helmets, 
Boots, 
Gloves, 
Khaki and White Clothing, 
The same order also directed that issues of personal clothing should 
be renewed on the anniversary of the soldier’s enlistment. ‘T'o adopt 
this order in India would, however, prove very inconvenient. The 
existing practice of renewing issues on Ist April has worked well and 
is to be continued.
