The Officer Commanding desires to say that during the voyage the behaviour of the N.C.O.'s and Men has been very good, with a few exceptions, which have been merely through inexperience. Every N.C. Officer and Man should consider it a personal matter that the good conduct is kept up to the high standard and that any misconduct reflects upon each man in the regiment. The Officer Commanding hopes that the good conduct will continue during the time that the regiment is in South Africa.
