bY | 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.
