WITH ENGLISH REGIMENTS
Fares for Overseas Volunteers
(Reuter's Telegrams)

LONDON, Friday Night. 
An army order notifies that locomotive expenses, excluding baggage charges, will be refunded on application within 12 months to individuals who, after the outbreak of the war, proceeded from South Africa, including Rhodesia, and embarked not later than February 2, 1916, or from other places abroad not later than September 30, 1916, provided they applied for commissions or enlistment within two months after their arrival in the United Kingdom.

The refund will not exceed the cost of the journey to the port of disembarkation in the United Kingdom by the most economical route, in the grade of accommodation appropriate to the rank in which they joined the British army, and will only be granted where the outlay was borne personally.

An extended period for the lodging of applications is provided for in the case of prisoners of war.
