Default British officer commission documents

I have two of these and always thought them an interesting slice of old fashioned army traditions. I don't know what the modern versions look like but the two I have are both from the reign of George VI.

One I have had for a while is for an officer of the RWF. It came unframed and has a notice of his regiment on the reverse.

From the gazette,
