ARMY COUNCIL INSTRUCTION  NO. I033 OF 1917.

War Office,

1st.July, 1917

I033. Precautions to be taken for the preservation of Life at Sea.

the following orders will be enforced on all transports, freightships, 
packet boats, etc., irrespective of the length of the voyage.

1. LIFE BELTS. LIFE BELTS are always to be worn by all ranks at sea,

except when men are turned in, when the belt or the jacket can be 

hung on berth or hammock. This rule is only to be relaxed when

outside the danger zones, in accordance with the instructions issued

by the Admiralty to the Masters of the Vessels.

In view of the importance of these jackets as a preventive

against unnecessary loss of life, every care should be taken to

keep them in a serviceable condition. It must be remembered that

Troops on subsequent voyages may otherwise suffer. 

2. PLACES OF PARADE. (Alarm posts or boat stations). With reference

to Paras. 157I and 1572 King's Regulations, the places where Troops 

are to fall in for Parade (alarmposts or boat stations) will be 

allotted by the O.C Troops (senior combatant officer on board) in 

consultation with the Master, and the Troops will be paraded at

them before the vessel sails or immediately afterwards, i.e. before

there is a possibility of attack by submarine, etc.

The above includes the position of all necessary boat and

raft sentries, etc., also any boat parties who may be detailed to

augment and assist the crew in lowering the boats. These parties

should at once be given instructions and practice in their duties. 

The point aimed at is that all should know where to go in 

an emergency, what to do, and how to do it, before the danger zone

is entered.

3. OFFICER COMMANDING TROOPS AND SHIP'S ADJUTANT. In cases in which 

no officer has bene detailed as O.C.Troops on board by the 

embarkation or other authorities, the senior combatant officer on

board will at once assume the position of O.C.Troops and will be
responsible that the duties above laid down, as well as other

necessary duties, are carried out. He will detail an officer to

act as Ship's Adjutant where he considers such is required.

(This instruction is intended to cover cases such as

short passages inpacket boats, coastal services, etc., where no

officer is detailed as O.C.Troops).
