uniforms be worn on duty.
Note 2 :- No officer, now in the service, will be required to provide himself with any article of the
new uniform until the corresponding article of his present equipment is worn out.
Note 3 :- Such modifications in the working dress but not Review Order or Mess Dress, as may suit
local circumstances may be permitted by local Government or Administrations for informal
work. Such orders might authorise, for example, the wearing of water proofs, putties, leggings,
khaki-ties, Cawnpore Tent Club helmets, Jodhpur breeches, shorts drill uniform etc.
Note 4 :- On ceremonial occasions such as those on which military officers wear their medals with
field service uniform, Police officers should wear medals and decorations with khaki working

cloth will be on view at the Indian Store Depot, Belvedere Road, Lambeth, S.E.I.

Note 7 :- The Forage cap will be worn with Review Order when the occasion renders the wearing
of a helmet unnecessary, e.g., on evening duties, etc.

orders are issued. In circumstances where the carrying of this weapon is necessary but
should be ostentatious, it should be carried in the breeches or trousers pocket.
