The organisation of the Force proceeded, and some additional men were attested.
In addition to his duties as Intelligence Officer, Captain Travers was appointed to act as Pay-master, and directed to place himself into communication with the District Pay-master, 2nd Military District, for further instructions, and to obtain the necessary forms, documents, etc. This he did, and arrangements were made to pay all ranks up to and including Monday, 17th instant.
