A Soldier wearing uniform on pass is never to appear in a public place unless dressed in review order, with forage cap or glengarry instead of the full dress headdress. Service dress or the regulation cycling dress may be worn when cycling.
If permission to wear plain clothes has been granted, such permission will be endorsed on the front of this form and initialled by the officer granting it.
The following is an extract from the Recruiting Regulations, 1912 :—
"Any man, whether soldier or civilian, who brings a recruit to a recruiter, or to a military barrack, is, ipso facto, "a recruiting agent, and it is not necessary that he should have been formally appointed as such."
The effect of this Regulation is that any soldier who brings a recruit under the above regulations is entitled to a reward if the recruit is passed into the service.
A Soldier on pass who requires medical aid must apply for it, personally if possible, to the nearest military hospital. If however he resides more than two miles from a military hospital, he may apply to a civilian doctor, to whom he will show this pass, and the doctor will then be allowed the following rates for medical attendance on the soldier at the latter's residence.

When a soldier on pass is prevented by sickness, which must be properly certified, or by other unavoidable causes, from rejoining his Corps by the date on which his pass expires, he is to report himself before that date — To the nearest General or other Officer on the staff of the Army; or to the Commanding Officer of any unit or detachment of the Regular Army; or (if none of these be within convenient distance), to a Justice of the Peace.
Before proceeding on pass a soldier is to leave his address with the captain of his company, and he must at all times be prepared to rejoin on the shortest notice, if ordered to do so.
