Totals . Officers. Men. Total. 725 18,130 18,882 The reason that this total is 112 greater than that of Appendix A is accounted foi by the inclusion in the returns of some camps of Cadets, Reservists, Permanent Staff, Chaplains, Medical Officers, extra bandsmen, and Post and Telegraph Corps men who attended camp and who are not shown in Appendix A. The actual numbers who were present at the camps was greater than the total of this appendix, as the return of Cadets, Reservists, Permanent Forces, Chaplains, Medical Officers, extra bandsmen, Post and Telegraph Corps, and those attached from other units is not forthcoming in the case of the Otago and Wellington Districts.
