Where damage occurs to any premises in which one or more units of the Armed Forces or the Reserve Regiment or parts of such units are quartered or billeted, or any fixtures or effects in or belonging to such premises are damaged or lost, then if it appears, on investigation in accordance with the provisions of General Orders, that the damage or loss was occasioned by the wrongful act or negligence of persons belonging to any of the units in occupation of the premises and was so caused at a time when they were in occupation thereof, but that the said persons cannot be identified, any person belonging to any of the units or parts of units may be required to contribute, toward compensation for the damage or loss, such amount as may in accordance with General Orders be determined to be just, and the amount may be deducted from his pay.

Subsection (1) extends to ships, trains, vehicles and aircraft in which units or parts of units of the Armed Forces or Reserve Regiment are being transported, and references to premises, quartering and occupation shall be construed accordingly.
