REFLECTIONS AT DRILL.
BY A RIFLE VOLUNTEER.
“Stand at Ease.”- The first command the Sergeant gives us; and the last we are able to obey.
“Eyes Right-Dress.”- It is clear that a good many of us have not attended to this command, or in our “dressing” we should not have looked in so many other directions than the right one.
“By sections” (Drill Manual).- Surely the last thing they ought to make of our volunteering is a sectional movement.
The best volunteer band will be that which has most “wind” and least “brass.”
Two ideas by no means connected-”The Lion” and “The Uniform.”
The best Entrenching tools – Files and Frills.
Volunteers ought to learn to close on their supports, but should never look for support to their clothes.
“Fall-out”- The last order one would like to see Volunteers obeying.
