Trench Standing Orders.

1.  Duties.—­A.  One officer per company and one non-commissioned officer per platoon will always be on duty.  During their tour of duty they will not be in their dugouts.  They will frequently visit all trenches occupied by their units.  Every listening post will be visited at least once by an officer during his tour of duty.

B. The officer and non-commissioned officer on duty will, when his tour of duty is completed, turn over to the officer or non-commissioned officer relieving him all orders, a report of the work in progress, if any, and any other information of use.

C. At night the officer and non-commissioned officer on duty will frequently patrol the trench line, to see that the sentries are alert and to receive any reports they may desire to make.

D. The-non-commissioned officer coming on duty will go round and post new sentinels with the non-commissioned officer coming off duty.

E. The length of the tour of duty will depend upon the number of officers and non-commissioned officers on duty.  Normally each tour should be, by night, two hours; by day, four hours.  This may be modified, however, so that all officers and non-commissioned officers will have an equal amount of this duty while in the trenches.
