Excerpt from The Infantry Manual: Containing Directions for the Drill and Instruction of Recruits Attention. On the word Attention, the hands are to fall smartly upon the outside Of the thighs; right heel to be brought up in a line with left; and the proper unconstrained posi tion of a soldier immediately resumed. When the recruit falls in for instruction, he is first to be taught to place himself, on the word Attention, in the position above described, to remain perfectly steady, and to give his whole attention to his commander. Before the word Attention is given, and occasionally during the time of drill, the recruit may be allowed to rest by Stand at Ease, as above explained. When standing at ease for any considerable time in cold weather, the men are permitted to move their limbs, but without quitting their ground, so that upon the word Attention, no one shall have materially lost his dressing in the line. In this case the Stand at Ease is given in the tone of a permission and not of command. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
