Before engag- ing on plague duty, the sepoys will be inoculated and supplied with two suits of white drill, one pair of boots and two white turbans. The clothing will be supplied regimentally, and the cost recovered subsequently from the local bodies concerned. Note.-When the troops employed on plague duty have been performing guard and sanitary duties in the same place together, that is to say, when some of the party have been employed on sanitary duties while others have been doing guard duty, the duties being interchangeable, all the troops should be paid allowances. On the other hand, where the duties assigned to any one body of troops have been exclusively of the nature of guard duties no allowances should be granted. The allowances shall be paid only for the days on which the troops are actually employed on plague duty. All doubtful cases should be referred for the special orders of Government.
