APPENDIX F
EVOLUTIONS REQUIRED AT THE INSPECTION OF A REGIMENT
1759
The squadron was drawn up in three ranks at open order, _i.e._
with a distance equal to half the front of the squadron between ranks.
Each squadron was told off into half-ranks, one-third of ranks, and
fours.
_Officers take your posts of exercise._--The officers rode out
from their posts till eight or ten paces in rear of the C.O., then
turned about and faced their squadrons.
_Half-ranks to the right; double your files._--The left half-ranks
of each squadron reined back to the half-distance between ranks, and
passaged to the right until the right half-ranks were covered.
_Half-ranks that doubled; as you were._--The left half-ranks
passaged to the left and rode back to their original places.
(The same manœuvre then executed to the left.)
_Rear ranks to the right; double your front._--The rear ranks
wheeled into column of half-ranks, then wheeled (as a column) to the
left and came up, the leading half-rank on the right flank of the
front, and the rear half-rank on the right flank of the centre rank.
