1 The Brigadier has noticed & that Shoulder patches have
been removed from sleeves, in many cases.  All
ranks should be immediately warned against any
further such irregular action and any cases should
be firmly dealt with by Commanding Officers. Where
Patches have been removed the Brigadier directs that
the Battalion number must be conspicuously marked
in indelible lead pencil. on sleeves near shoulder.
2 An inspection of the Bivouac Area by Brigadier
this morning discloses that the Roads, ^Tracks and area
generally are not by any means as clean as they
might be. Several men on being questioned stated
they were unaware of orders prohibiting them to
from Cooking or loitering on roadside or
occupying isolated Bivouacs. COs will be good
enough to immediately set these matters right.
3 It is reported that a number of Brigade personnel
is loitering on Beach. An Officer 1 Segt and 1 Corpal
