pension, payment of this share of the pension ceases.
No family pension may be confiscated in payment
of any debt.
6 . Issue of yay and pension. —Pay is drawn from
the divisional headquarters pay authorities by the
officer commanding the regiment, and issued to men
by being passed down through battalion, company and
platoon commanders* As all of these may attempt to
make something out of it for themselves, the full
amount of pay seldom reaches the man for whom it
is drawn.

manding at the nearest town where there are troops,
who draws money for pensioners from the divisional
headquarters. Pensions are generally paid every six
months in arrears.
