Service Cadetships, the total number of which is not to exceed five in any one year. Service Cadets will be selected by the Board of Admiralty from (a) sons of officers of the Army, Navy, or Marines who have been killed in action, or who have been lost at sea on active service, or killed on duty, or who have died of wounds received in action or injuries received on duty within six months from the date of such action or injury, (b) sons of officers of the Navy who have performed long or distinguished service, and who hold or have held rank or relative rank on the Active List not lower than that of Commander. Not more than two such latter Service Cadets will be nominated annually.
Applications for Service Cadetships should be addressed to the Military Secretary, Horse Guards, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Army; to the Secretary of the Admiralty, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Navy or Marines, and to the Military Secretary, India Office, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Indian Army.
Colonial and Service Cadets will be entered on passing the test examination as specified in para. graphs 9 and 10, and will in all other respects be subject to these Regulations.
The educational examination of all candidates will be conducted by the Civil Service Commissioners (address Cannon Row, Westminster) who will deal with all questions connected with such examination and will announce the results. A fee of ten shillings will be required from each candidate.

ment.
No Captain will be entitled to nominate more than one candidate during the time he holds the rank of Captain, but a Flag Officer or a Cominodore 1st Class may claim the privilege each time he is appointed to a command as above.
