This was issued to Ibstock Place in Roehampton London on the 27th of October 1943.
The preface of this pamphlet states the following;
“These instructions which will always be adhered to in principle apply to storage at Home and Overseas. In emergency, relaxation may be necessary, but normally, any instruction mandatory in form will only be relaxed on War Office or G.H.Q. authority. In any operations the first ammunition depots to be established will be road-served. The construction of rail-served depots may never be undertaken in a theatre of operations. This pamphlet, therefore, deals in the details of a road-served depot. General principles apply, however, to both types.”
