THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 19. 1941. 1411
2. Each camp lasts seven days and Officers and Volunteers are required to attend for the full period during which their units are under training unless special exemption has been obtained by themselves or their employers.
3. In special cases where exemption from a portion of the full period is sought employers should always request leave for their employees in writing, as early as possible, from the Commandant, Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, Volunteer Head- quarters, Garden Road. Such applications should give full particulars as to the reasons for leave and the exact times during which it is required. Leave will only be granted for the actual period during which it is required, and, except where the applicant is required for night shift work at his place of business, he will be ordered to attend camp from after office hours in the evening till the commencement of office hours the following morning In the case of camps ou the Island of Hong Kong, transport will be available at Volunteer Headquarters, and in the New Territories the normal train service will be used. Every man granted leave will be required to wear uniform when proceeding to and from his place of business.
4. The very active co-operation of employers is requested so that each Officer and Volunteer may do his full time in camp, even if it means other employees doing extra work for that period. It is hoped that this co-operation will be more active than it has been in certain cases in the past. Telephones are installed in each camp for the use of Officers and Volunteers and it is preferable that a man be granted two or three hours leave from camp to attend to any special business rather than he be exempted for the whole day on the off chance of his being required.
