the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres-

horst.'  is  constrained  to  lie  sjeady  in  (h'ali,  not  so  the  lead. 

With  a  team  ol'six,  liowever,  or  even  eij,dit,  j^ood  service  traces 
.stand  we'll  enou^'li,  and  olllcers   need  not  theieibre  generally  con- 
sider th<-  strain  thai  conu's  on  theiu. 
IncUmitioa       The  lu'i^lit  ol  tiie  s|.linter-')ar  to  Avliicli  the  wheel- 

()/ J'rdcc.  tiace  is  hooked,  is  alioiit  2  teet,  ID  inclies  fr'om  tlie 
grounu,  wliile  that  ol'Ihe  shoulder  ol'tlie  hamoisfrom  1  left  ."J  inciu'S 
to  4  feet  H  inches.  It  is  therefore  obvious  that  the  trace  will  incline 
upwards  to  the  iroid,  for  t  lie  pull  of  (.'acii  Imrse  tends  to  draw  the 
train;  slrai;;ht  to  his  own  shouMer-hook;  thus  the  whetd  horse,  if 
umntiM-fered  wilh,  wuuldpull  it  in  the  line  AK,  the  centre  liorse  in 
the  line  AF,  and  Iheh-ail  A(i.  Jf  tiie  lead  aidmal  was  about 'Jl 
Iianils  lii^h,  (say  a  uLralfe),  ai  d.the  wlioel- iorsenfteen,and  theceniri' 
an  mtermediale  hei-^hl,  perliapsall  the>e  lines  nii^rht  coiiicide,  or  if 
the  splint,  r-bar  was  much  hif^her  than  it  is,  it  mif^lit  be  brought  to 
do  so.  No  doubt  this,  theoretically,  wotdd  •simj)li!y  marteis,  and 
cause  all  tiie  t«>am  to  i«ul!  truly  in  the  same  direction;  j.ractically, 
it  is  only  possible  t(j  adjust  tlie  (iraiiKld  so  as  tocause  the  U'ast  waste 
of  for<-e,  and  this  is  doiie  by  i)lacin;j  llie  hi,i;her  horse  in  front  of  the 
lower  throu>,diout  the  team,  as  far  as  is  consistent  with  liaving  a 
powerful  i)air  of  compact  horses  iji  the  wheel,  especially  the  shaft 
liorse. 

In  lact,  tlien,  the  liorses  pull  slightly  againsteach  other,  and  when 
all  are  working  eeiually  the  trace  AJi  takes  a  direction  iiillueneed 
by  the  pull  of  ail ;  Ji(J  by  that  of  the  two  front  liorses,  and  (JDis 
drawn  (.lirect  towards  the  lead  horse's  shoulder.  This  is  represent- 
ed by  the  thick  line  AU(n)  in  the  ligure. 

If  tin;  lead  horse  is  out  of  his  collar,,  the  hlnderpart  of  the  trace 
rises  to  a  position  considerably  higlier,  and  if  tlie  wheel-horse  only,. 
is  working,  his  trace  taices  the  p(isi(ion  of  tlie  straight  line  AE. 

It  follows,  therefore,  that  should  the  liearing  straps,  hip  straps,  or 
bellybaiuls  interfere  Willi  the  trace  taklngeitiierof  thesedirections,, 
they  may  more  or  less  distress  the  horses.  The  tirst  position  is  the 
one  that  is  suiiijosed  to  be  generally  tlie  one  assumed,  Imt  it  will  lie 
seen  hereafter  that  in  the  case  of  wheeling,  the  horses  have  to  be 
taken  out  of  their  collars  in  succession  as  they  turn  the  corner,  and 
lieiice  at  the  monu'Ut  of  turning,  the  wlu'el-horseoiily  works.  On 
account,  then,  of  this  and  numerous  other  occurrences,  it  is  well  to 
tit  the  harness  so  as  to  admit  of  its  takingal!  the  above  jiositions. 

Tlie  harness  of  each  lioisc,  then,  must,  to  a  certain  extent,  lie  fit- 
ted by  guess,  and  corrected  by  observation  Avlieii  at  work,  in  what 
Avay,  is  Ut-^t  judged  by  riding  or  walking  at  some  little  distance  from 
a  team,  and  oliserving  wheilier  th<>  traces  may  be  str.etclu'd  direct 
to eacli  horse's  shoulder  in  succession  without  interference,  while 
on  the  other  liand  no  strap.s  are  very  loose,  except  the  wheel-horse's 
Ju'llyljand. 

Dropjiing       As  to  Icngtli,  11.  will  be  found  tluit  the  Service  traces  are 

links  (Old    not  too  long  for  liorses  moving  ata  gallop,  or  movingover

tJPSETTINO  ANGLE  OF  WHEELS, 

Tlio  earriaj»o  being  tilted  over  totlie  s'de  will  upset  as  soon  as  the 
centre  of  gravity  lias  passed  tlic  vertical  line  tlirough  the  lower 
\vh(>el,  as  in  th<>  Fig.  it  may  be  seen  that  this  occurs  at  a  lower 
angle  with  a  higher  wheel. 

In  passing  obstacles,  unleSvS  time  is  of  vital  importance^  the 
gunners  should  be  dismounted,  as  it  is  less  dangerous  and  llghteivs 
the  weight. 

The  men  on  the  gun  axle  seats  are  very  I'aroly  Injured  except  by 
carelessly  putting  a  leg  or  arm  between  the  spokes.  If  thrown  ott", 
their  feet  are  close  to  the  ground,  tiiey  are  simply  lelt  behind  with- 
out danger  of  being:  run  over,  except  in  a  commn  of  route.  The 
danger  to  limber  gunners  Is  greater;  tliey  should  be  careful  to  hold 
on  to  the  hand  straps,  and  iu  passing  rough  ground  to  hold  also  tlie 
hand  rail  on  the  box,  rising  slightly  from  their  seats  and  resting 
part  of  the  weight  on  the  feet,  so  as  to  take  the  jolts  on  the  natural 
springs  of  the  arms  and  logs  instead  of  on  the  vertebral  columu. 


ACCIDENTS  TO  MOUNTED  MEN. 

The  accidents  that  may  occur  to  mounted  men  are  frequent^  but 
simple  in  character,  the  great  danger  is  that  the  carriages  in  rear 
may  pass  over  a  man  on  the  ground  and  kill  him;  this,  liowevcr, 
rarely  happens,  as  the  drivers  generally  have  time  to  move  clear. 
Horses  seldom  strike  a  man  on  the  ground  with  their  feet  very 
severely. 

A  common  cause  of  men  riding  against  each  other  Is  from  their 
not  looking  in  front  of  them. 

It  may  be  observed  that  there  is  comparatively  little  danger  of  a 
battery,  at  full  Interval,  riding  into  a  body  of  men,  as  they  have 
room  to  wheel  by  subdivisions  up  t-o  the  last  moment. 

Perlmps  the  most  f  ital  cUuss  of  accidents  to  mounted  men  is  from 
horses  rearing  and  falling  hacU.  on  them,  this  may  <K!cur  Iron^  a 
young  horse  taking  fright  at  tiring;  if  opportunity  is  given,  laying  a 
hand  or  sword  on  the  horse's  head  may  prevent  a  horse  Irom 
rearing.  In  any  case  the  rider  must  not  hold  on  to  the  curb  rein, 
but  if  necessary  take  a  lock  of  the  mane  in  his  hand  and  ease  the 
reins  in  so  doing. 

A  young  liorse  taking  fright  and  "bolting"  or  backing  against  a 
gun  is  dangerous;  serious  accidents  have  occasionally  occurred  of 
this  kind. 

A  riding  horse  kicking  over  the  trace  of  a  gun  has  been  thrown 
down;  the  remedy  is  to  keep  liim  down,  slack  the  traces  and 
unliooic.

tne  object  ol  the  engagement  and  which  to  give  up  as  least  essential' 
rso  position  can  be  called  a  good  one  that  does  not  fulfil  the  first 
condition. 

12th.  Avoid  unmasking  the  position  by  opening  fire  until  a  tvorthv 
object  i-iwithtn  range,  wliich  should  not  be  above  2,oiJ0  vards  the 
limit  of  field-glasses  by  wliich  the  nssults  of  fire  can  be  ascertained 

l.'U.h.  Open  fire  deliberately  from  th(  leeward  gun,  firing  a  little 
short  of  the  estimated  range,  increasing  and  correcting  the  eleva- 
tion ol  the  remainingguns,  tiring  mon!  rapidly  as  the  range  isascer- 
tained  or  the  toe  comes  to  close  quarters;  but  never  waste  ammuni- 
tion, which  encourages  an  enemy,  nnsteadies  your  men,  and  is  diffi- 
cult to  replace.  "If  ordered  to  lire  (uselessly,  in  vonr  own  iurio^- 
jiieiil),  obey;  but  fire  as  slowly  as  possible."*  'opening  fire  at  ioa

l()ii«  ransjos  is  tho  vlco  of  all  arms  and  all  armies  ;  restrained  firo 
r.iiscs  ilif  f  )iirtd>n(;o  of  MiosL' who  prafUice  it,  and  none  can  do  so 
moiv  St 'a  lily  thin  tho  Kiiulish.  wtiile  it  depresses  those  who  have 
to  alvancr>  on  a  conioarativcly  silent  foe. 

II Ml.  "  Guns  should  bear  on  tlvit  arm  of  the  enemy's  force  ivhich 
threatens  most -lis  a  rule,  th  ■  cnviny's  Infantry  and  cavalry,  ratlier 
til  111  th.'ir  artillery."  When  yon  do  fire  on  an  opposing  battery, 
not  in  S(>!f-defonee,  but  to  save  your  own  infantry  being  shalcen  be- 
fore a  contemplated  assault  by  tlie  enemy,  let  it  be  understood  in 
your  own  batiery  that  y«»u  concentrate  on  their  centre  gun  (eom- 
ni')ii  shell  and  percussion  fu/es);  and  wlien  silenced,  turn  atten- 
tion to  that  on  its  riglit,  tlien  left,  and  so  on, 

l-jth.  Guns  b"i.nr/  useless  while  limbered  up,  and  a  change  of  posi- 
tion necessitating  a  fresli  estimit"  of  ransre,  the  yiumher  of  ch'tnges 
of  position  in  action  should  be  a  minimum  and  the  pace  a  marJmum, 
provided  it  is  steady. 

Ifith.  The  subaltern's  command  of  two  guns  should  never  be  separ- 
ated: tliey  arc  b  ittie  comri  les,  and  form  as  coniplet"^'  a  unit  as  an 
infantry  con.pioiy.  They  are  often  detaclied  from  the  battery  for 
advanced  guards  or  f/ita,>ij  out ixrsts.  It  is  not  good  for  a  gun  to  be 
alone;  alt  Tnate  rtre  is  essential. 

17th.  Ilavinf/  a  favourable  position,  keep  U  until  tlie  enemy  retires 
beyond  ii,.'y)i)  yards  or  your  own  trcKips  mask  your  Are;  in  either 
casi>,  advance  to  within  S0()  yards  of  the  enemy,  and  press  his  re- 
treat. Sliould  lie  advance,  say  within  8()0  yards,  and  that  there  are 
no  special  orders  or  reasons  for  liolding  the  position  it  may  be  ad- 
visable to  retire  to  u»>out  2'}:)0,  if  the  ground  otters  a  second  favour- 
able position.  8(X)  yards,  or  thereabouts,  being  the  effective  limit 
of  infantry  tire,  is  the  'romni^ncement  of  perfect  artillery  efficiency. 
It  may  be  necessary  to  sacrifice  guns  and  gunners  to  save  a  broken 
infantry.  Always  deli  berate;  before  retiring  unless  specially  ordered, 
an  I  bf-arin  mind  that  tlie  last  few  rounds  at  close  quarters  often  turn 
the  tide  of  battle  and  l)ring  you  honor,  or,  at  least,  a  sense  of  having 
done  your  duty  to  thi>  uttermost. 

ISth.  Reasons  for  advance  to  short  rartfire..— Several  reasons  are  given 
by  Major  Holfbauer,  of  the  (iermaii  Artillery,  why  guns  should  ad- 
vance to  short  ranges  -.—Moral  effect.  This  cannot  be  over-estimat- 
ed. Advancing  infantry  derives  new  inspirati'  n  when  the  guns 
pass  close  by  in  eager  advance,  and  tiieir  opening  Are  is  heard  ;  while 
the  artillery  is  impelled  by  anxiety  to  support  its  comrades  of  the 
infantry.  With  what  a  v/elcome  are  tlie  gunners  received  at  such 
moments,  and  the  ring  of  the  Hritlsh  infantry  battle  cheer,  does  not 
die  in  the  memory  of  those  who  liave  heard  it. 

"  The  advantage  of  being  near  at  hand,  to  support  the  attack  If 
checked,  or  to  prepare  tlie  way  for  renewed  efforts. 

''  The  great  advantage  of  close  connection  with  the  infantry,  so  that 
the  artillery  can  co-operate  at  the  right  moment,  whicli  is  always 
difficult  when  the  positions  are  too  far  to  the  rear.

FwiiTiNO  Tactics. 


PAnTl.'SfcC.ll 


holf^hts  of  Sohwplgen,  Burldonly  opened  a  heavy  flro  on  the  enemy's 
•oatnp  and  the  viHajie  of  Wlssonburg.    With  the  old  Impetuosity  of 
tlieir  race,  the  French  sprang  to  arms,  but  were  ordered  by  General 
J)()uay  to  remain  as  mucli  as  possible  behind  Wissenburg.    The 
proeantion  was  useless,;  the  Prussian  guns,  from  their  command- 
in.!,' P'>>.i,  ion,  raino  i  death  uiKai  tliem,  whether  tliey  advanced  or 
soiijrlit  sbelter.    The  French  artillery,  consisting  only  of  three  light 
held  batteries  and  one  of  mitrailleurs,  was  soon  o\'ei-whelmed4  and 
aoeording  to  the  German  ofhcial  account,  "the  mitrailleurs' tired 
only  a  frw  rounds,  and  were  easily  silenced  bv  the  Prassian  giftis.'' 
Jheov<-r\vhelming  numbersof  the  Crown  Prince  outflanked  and 
took  tlie  hil    ot  Geisburg;  the  outnumbered  French^  sUll  pursued 
by  tbe  deadly  Prn-;sian  sliells,  and  harassed  by  the  cavalry,  turned 
retreat  to  rout.    "\V  is.ienburg  was  quickly  followed  by  Wcorth.    The 
lyencli  portion  was  salient,  almost  semicircular;  thus 'otlering  U> 
the  Prussums  the  opportunity  ever  oveted  by  artillerists,  viz ~,  the 
ohane(>ot  enfilading }joth  wings  from  a  point  nearly  opposite  the 
centre.     J  lie  Prussian  guns  were  thus  ma-ssed  ou  the  heights  south 
'///["■''^■''"''^/.'"'•'^'"''^'^"^^'-'^tofdlunstadt,  and,  as  usual,  they   were 
telt  before  they  were  seen.    Those  on  the  (Sorsdorf  heights  com- 
menced the  action  by  enfilading  the  whole  French  left,  and  com- 
pelling Marshal  Mac.Mahon  to  change  the  front  of  the  first  division  • 
the  maiueuvre  was  brilliantly  executed  by  tlie  Frencli.    Later  in 
the  day,  fourteen  German  battelMes  (HI  guns),  near  Gunstacit,  were 
launched  upon  tlie  French  right  Wing,  enrtlading  it  in  the  line  of  its 
greatest  depth'^  and  not  only  the  fourth  divisioiv,  but  also  the  un- 
tortunate  second,  which  stood  beliind  them,  and  had  already  borne 
the  brunt  of  battle  at  Wissenburg.  A  battery  of  tiie  5th  corps,  north 
■of  Spacbacli,  occupied  the  French  guns?  these  latter  are  said  to 
have  b.^en  well  served  but  poorly  handled,  for  the  gallant  Frencii 
arti   cry  seem  to  have  lorgotten  the  tactical  lessons  of  their  great 
artillery  chief.  Napoleon  I.    They,  however,  nobly  sacrificed  them- 
selves at  the  close  of  the  action  in  endeavoring  to  save  their  broken 
ima?itry.  At  this  battle,  also,  the  Frencli  were  greatly  outnumber- 
ed, and  failed  to  receive  assistance  from  De  Faillv's  corps.    Mac- 
Malion  s  jiosition  Was  strategi'-ally  good,  as  fairly  covering  the  two 
important    railway    communications    witli    Strasbourg    throu-^h 
Hagenau,  and  with  Metz  tria  Bitsche.    On  the  same  day  that  the 
Crown  Pi-mc-^  thus  severed  the  French  army  and  cut  otT  its  right 
wing,  some  forty  miles  distant,  in  a  north-westerly  direction  from 
the  field  of  W<ertli,  the  first   Prussian  .t-my.   muler  Steinmetz, 
assisted  by  part  of  the  second,  also  cut  the  French  line  at  Spichern, 
thus  hopelessly  dividing  MacMalion  and   Bazaine.     The  ridjre  of 
Spichern    overlooks    tb-  village  of  Saarbruclc,    the  scene  of  the 
*a;><eTOe(;(./eifof  the  Prince  Imperial.    As  usual,  the  French  were 
surnnscd  by  the  opening  of  the  Prussiiin  artillery,   six  battericn, 
fiom  a  bill  overlooking  the  valley  from  whlcli  a  part  of  Frossard's 
iforcehadnot  been  withdrawn.    The  leading  artiilpry  features  of 
Tne  battle  are  the  rapid  bringing-up  and  concentration  of  guns,  in 

,w!.'^\  ^^^*'V"r.''^.^'Ml"V*"'^  •'^'""S  ^'^^  '■™^''«  to  tlie  front,  while  the 
inmntiy  of  the  r  divisions  were  partially  sent  on  by  rail.  This

ohstiiuito  soldier's  hattlo,  wltlioutuny  particular  display  ol  tactical 
skill.  Hazaine  committed  an  orror  in  tightmg  at  all;  having  inc- 
viously  dotormined  to  retreat  towards  Verdun,  heslxudd  liavedcHie 
so  and  left  the  protection  of  his  rear  to  the  fortress,  instead  ol  figlu- 
in<'a  hattle  with  his  army  astrid(>  of  the  Moselle,  and  an  enemy 
Whoso  ohject  it  Was  to  detain  him.  The  French  engineers  had 
unaccoiintablv  neglected  to  l)low  uj)  the  laidgesover  the  .Mo.'-elle,  to 
the  south,  though  they  distroyrd  some  in  their  own  hue  of  ivtrcat. 
}}a/aine's  first  march  was  a  very  sliort  one,  and  imixded  by  an 
enormous  quantity  of  l)ag!;age.  He  gives  a  further  reas..n  for  delay 
in  the  fact  that  the  French  intendenee,  or  control  iepartnieiit,  had 
vjtowedawav  six  million  ofcartridireh  witliout  tellaig  lum  wlnie  to 
find  them,  Jind.  moreover,  had  themselves  forgotten  their  where- 
abouts. This  gave  the  Germans  time;  th.'v  pushed  forward  as  l^^ir 
as  Mars-le-Tour  witii  cavalry  and  guns,  and  strnclc  the  head  of  the 
French  advance,  also  cavalry,  apimrently  without  gnns.  The 
Freiicli  preparetl  to  charge  ;  but  the  German  cavalry,  wlio  masked 
their  Euns.  wheeling  right  and  left,  oi)ened  out  and  left  tlie  guns  to 
work  their  deadly  destiny,  and  tluis  turn  the  tide  of  1<  reach  re- 

^"^A^ Vionville  and  Rezonville,  in  a  somewhat  similar  manner,  the 
French  columns  were  fiercely  struck,  and  heltl  by  cavalry  and 
nrtillerv  until  the  infantry  came  ui>.  The  success  of  the  hnal 
infantry  onslaught  is  attributed  by  Captain  Hozler  to  the  Priisslan 
•irtillerv  being^  as  usual,  massed  on  their  enemies'  flank. 
Theextraordinary  mobility  of  the  Prussian  Field  artillery,  princi- 
i>aliv  due  to  their  svstem  of  carrying  sufficient  men  on  limbers  and 
eun-axle-seats,  rendered  ijossible  their  style  of  vigorous  artillery 
action,  impossible  to  the  French  with  their  antiquated  system  of 
carrying  gunners  on  the  wagons,  or  leaving  them  behind  out  of 

^  The  Prussian  cavalrv  sacrificed  themselves  with  the  same  heroic 
callantry  as  the  English  at  Balaclava,  witii  the  difference  that  their 
self-sacrifice  had  a  strategic  oiyect  and  result,  viz  holding  the 
French  for  their  comrades  to  come  up.  One  terrible  charge  was 
made  throuiili  two  French  batteries  with  bodies  of  mlantry  in  their 
rear,  to  be  finally  met  by  the  hostile  cavalry.  A  little  more  than  a 
foiu-tiiofthe  horsemen  responded  \.o  the  ngimeiital  call  at  that 

■^  The  FreiK'h'fought  with  tlie  determined  fury  of  their  race,  and 
intticted  terrible  losses  on  their  enemies,  considering  tliat  they  bad 
gained  a  vi<-fory ;  but  as  corrs  after  corps  came  into  po>ition  on  t  lo 
left,  and  wheeled  up,  the  Germnn  army,  which  at^ first  looked

DISCIPLINE. 


'r  the  horses' 


1.  The  first  essential  is  the  due  maintenance  of  a  chain  of 
authority  and  responsibility,  every  link  of  which  bears  a 
share  of  steady  strain  from  the  Commanding  Officer  to  the 
subaltern  commanding  divisions,  the  sergeant  in  charge  of 
sub-divisions  down  to  the  individual  gunner  or  driver.  Links 
that  are  overlooked  or  allowed  to  hang  in  idle  festoons  are  apt 
to  snap  under  tlie  sudden  strain  of  service.  It  is,  therefore, 
most  desirable  for  a  commander  to  endeavour,  as  far  as  practi- 
oable,  to  convey  orders  or  even  reprimands  to  a  subordinate 
through  the  officer  responsible  tor  the  conduct  of  the  indivi- 
dual. 

In  the  Artillery  service  the  Battery  is  a  natural,  tactical  and 
administrative  unit,  and  in  the  l<'ield  Artillery  is  divided 
into  divisions  of  two  guns,  commanded  by  an  officer,  forming 
in  itself  a  minor,  tactical  unity,  which  should  not  be  over- 
looked. 

In  the  Garrison  Artillery  the  same  principle  holds  good. 

The  Commanding  Offlcer  may  delegate  to  a  subaltern  power 
of  punishment  to  the  extent  of  two  days  confinement  to  Camp 
or  Barracks. 

Officers  ix  GENERAii. 

2.  All  ofllcers  are  to  consider  exactness  of  time  at  parades 
and  posts  of  assembly,  as  one  of  the  first  principles  of  military 
duty,  and  are  earnestly  enjoined,  by  strict  adherence  to  all 
Orders,  to  set  an  example  of  good  order  and  Military  discipline 
to  every  soldier  under  their  command. 

3.  Thej-  are  to  make  thejnselves  acquainted  with  the  Militia 
Regulations,  Articles  of  War,  Queen's  Regulations,  and  all 
General,  Garrison,  and  Artillery  standing  orders,  of  wliich 
latter  they  are  to  have  a  copy  in  their  possession.  Ignorance 
of  orders  Avill  never  be  admitted  as  an  excuse. 

4.  Tliey  are  always  to  treat  Non-commissioned  officers  with 
kindness,  not  reprimanding  them  in  the  presence  of  the  men 
when  it  can  be  avoided,  and  although  no  misconduct  or  neg  lect 
should  be  overloolced,  they  are  required  to  be  very  cautiou  s  in 
confining  them.

5.  Tlx-y  will  make  themselves  acqiiainteil  with  the  names 
■of  every  man  in  tiie  Battery  to  which  they  helong,  and  en- 
<loavonr  to  aecjuire  a  knowledge  of  his  disposition  anrl 
<;haracter.  When  tliey  reprimand  a  soldier,  they  will  on 
no  aeeount  use  violent  or  irdtatint?  language,  and  in  no 
case  wliatever  allow  him  to  make  an  answer,  on  parade. 

0.  Officers  signing  documents,  arc  to  nut  their  regimental 
rank  immediately  after  their  name;  and  if  they  have  brev«'t 
ranlv,  it  is  to  follow  the  re;^imental  rank,  and  also  to  name  the 
Battery  tliey  belong  to,  whicli  should  always  be  in  the  officer's 
own  handwriting. 

7.  Officers  of  Field  Batteries,  are  to  be  most  attentive  to  tlieir 
stable  duties.  They  will  see  tluit  the  horses  are  properly 
cleaned,  the  stables  ventilated,  and  the  horse  appointments 
arranged  according  to  order. 

8.  In  the  like  manner,  in  visiting  the  men's  rooms  or  tents, 
they  will  see  that  the  beds  or  blankets  are  folded,  arms 
arranged,  and  clothing  disposed  according  to  order. 

9.  All  Field  Battery  officers  are  expected  to  attend  mid-day 
stables.      ;

12.  Officers  may  employ  gunners  or  drivers  as  servants,  the 
practice  being  sanctioned  as  an  indulgence.  Application  for  a 
servant  must  be  made  to  the  Officer  Commanding,  according 
to  regl.  form  2. 

13.  Application  for  leave  of  absence  must  be  made  In  writing,

2.  Non-Commlssioned  Officers  should  be  perfectly  acquainted 
with  aU  drills. 

3.  Any  man  found  on  parade,  with  a  muzzle  stopper  in  his 
rifle,  will  Immediately  be  reported. 

4.  N.  C.  Officers  and  Men  must  b<^  very  particular  in  saluting 
officers,  in  uniform  or  otherwise. 

5.  Men  reported  by  the  medical  officer  for  concealing  veneral 
disease  will  be  severely  punished. 

6.  All  >^uslness  is  transacted  In  the  Office,  and  the  C'ommanr!- 
ing  OfK-  ar  can  be  seen  there  at  office  hour,  for  all  necessary 
purposes. 

7.  N.  C.  Officers  and  Gunners  are  to  be  careful  to  give  the 
proper  salute  to  officers  of  the  British  and  Foreign  armies  or 
navies,  when  recognisable  as  such,  in  uniform.  Guards  and 
sentries  will  pay  the  proper  compliments  to  those  officers. 

8.  No  gunner  will  be  promoted  to  the  rank  of  N.  C.  Officer 
unit  s  he  is  in  possession  of  a  Gunnery  Certificate,  and  Non- 
commissioned Officers,  not  having  in  possession  tlio  above  certi- 
ficate, are  to  qualify  as  soon  as  possible,  in  order  to  obtain 
subsequent  promotion. 

9.  Non-(."oinmissioned  Officers  must  exact  attention,  obedi- 
ence, alertness,  and  precision  in  all  movements  and  drills, 
giving  their  words  of  command  In  a  decided  and  commanding 
voice. 

10.  Non-Commlssioned  Officers  are  never  to  make  use  of 
coarse,  or  intemperate  language  towards  the  men  ;  they  are  to 
give  their  orders  plainly  and  decidedly,  in  as  few  words  as  pos- 
sible. 

11.  They  must  reflect  that  example  is  better  than  precept, 
therefore  it  becomes  their  interest  as  well  as  duty  to  be  correct 
In  their  own  conduct. 

12.  When  a  soldier  speaks  to  an  officer  he  Is  to  stand  at  atten- 
tion, as  on  parade,  having  saluted  the  officer  on  approaching 
him.  When  he  comes  ii.to  a  room  he  Is  to  do  the  same  and  not 
take  ofT  his  cap  or  busby. 

13.  When  passing  an  officer  he  will  salute  with  his  outward 
hand  to  his  cap,  looking  the  officer  in  his  face  whilst  passing 
him. 

14.  When  in  a  Civil  Court,  and  before  a  Magistrate,  soldiers 
not  under  arms  must  remove  their  caps. 

15.  Soldiers  are  expected  to  be  civil  and  courteous  in  their 
behaviour  to  all  classes  of  society. 

16.  All  good  soldiers  will,  for  their  own  credit,  be  obedient  to 
their  officers,  attentive  i,o  the  care  of  their  arras  and  accoutre- 
ments, as  well  as  exact  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties,  and 
always  neatljjr  and  reglmentally  dressed ;  by  these  means  they 
will  show  to  iheir  officers  that  they  fool  an  interest  in  the  credit 
of  the  corps,  which  will  secure  them  every  proper  Indulgence, 
comfort,  and  advantage  which  their  situations  can  afford,  and 

Sreclude  the  necessity  of  that  most  painful  part  of  an  officer's 
uty,  the  inflicting  of  punishment  on  those  whom  they  only 
wish  to  benefit  as  their  comrades  In  arms.
