159. No person is entitled without the consent of
the King to wear the uniform attached to any office
after he has ceased to hold that office. Such consent
can only be obtained on the recommendation of the
Governor made through the Secretary of State, and
only in cases where an officer has actually worn the
uniform during his tenure of the office to which it is
attached. No retired officer will be allowed to wear
any other uniform than that which was attached to his
office during his tenure of it.
160. A white undress uniform has been approved
for use in tropical countries in place of the ordinary
(blue) civil uniform. Its adoption in any Colony is
left to the discretion of the Governor, but if it is
adopted the wearing of uniform (or the alternative
dress described in Regulation 162) is compulsory on all
occasions duly prescribed. At outdoor functions in
the day-time officers wearing the blue uniform are
at liberty to wear with it the white helmet worn with
the white undress uniform.
161. Only Governors or High Commissioners may
wear the first class of this uniform, and they may wear
with it, if they so desire, the cape forming part of
the Governor's special uniform and a helmet bearing
a plume similar to that on the cocked hat worn with
the Governor’s special uniform. On special occasions,
however, such as the celebration of the Sovereign's
Birthday or the opening or closing of the Legislature,
Governors will wear the special uniform.
The other classes of white uniform will be worn by
persons who are entitled, or have received permission,
to wear the corresponding class of the ordinary civil
uniform, .
162. In lien of civil uniform officers may wear, on
all occasions when uniform is prescribed, ordinary
evening dress with black breeches (with three buttons
and black buckles at the knee), black silk hose, and
plain court shoes.
