93 Sqn Linebook No. 2 - Page 57 Letter:

From:- Admiralty.
To:- Lt Young R.N.
Date:- 5th July 1957.
Ref.:- INT/ORG.RU12/WC.
                                          CONTRAVENTION OF ADMIRALTY ORDERS
1.   It has come to the attention of their Lordships that the above-mentioned has committed a unforgivable breach of Admiralty Orders by the wearing of certain non-standard items of service clothing.
2.   It is felt by their Lordships that this is much to be deplored as it may interpreted as a reduction in standards to those which prevail in that junior Service with whom the above-mentioned is serving.   It must always be the ambition of every Senior Service Officer to inculcate his couthness and high degree of social behaviour to those among whom he serves, by his own personal example.
3.   Evidence of the failure of the above-mentioned to observe these standards, is overwhelming in the form of this photograph which was found in an empty gin bottle on Waterloo station.
4.   It is therefore the command of their Lordships that the above-mentioned be removed from his present place of work and be posted to GOOSE BAY there to command the Royal Naval Land Yacht Test Station, at present investigating the application of the Area Rule Formula to Naval Land Yachts.
5.   Sand shoes and armoured jock straps are to be drawn from the nearest Naval Barracks, which constitute the permanent rig of the day in GOOSE BAY, and must be rigidly adhered to.
(Netherton-Browne)
Adjutant.
