Para II  Boots
Company Commanders will take steps to assure themselves that Boots are regurlarly and properly dubbined. The supply of dubbin is quite sufficient if properly used. To allow of every mans boots being regularly and satisfactorily treated care must be taken that the dubbin is properly rubbed in and not smeared on the surface only and that if possible it is applied when the Boot is dry. The matter is to be looked upon as important.
