Note: The original document contains additional allowance entries (Good Conduct Allowances, Rent Allowances at various rates) that appear in the “Quarters & Allowances” column above. Some cells marked “Do.” indicate “ditto” (same as above). The symbol “A” in the Absence column likely denotes a specific leave category. The final “(J 48)” appears to be a page or file reference.
