The centre file (the left file of the right sub-division) stands fast, arms ordered, the remainder of the right sub-division turn to the right, the whole of the left sub-division to the left, arms at the long trail (horizontal in the right hand), step off, first file on each side of the centre at six paces halted and fronted quietly by the rear rank men, take up the bodily position of the centre-file, whatever it may be,—the others successively do the same as their relative distances are gained. “FROM THE RIGHT EXTEND.” “FROM THE LEFT EXTEND.” “FROM THE FOURTH FILE FROM THE RIGHT EXTEND EIGHT PACES.” “FROM JOHN WILSON EXTEND THREE PACES.” On precisely the same principle. Division extended in single files. “DOUBLE FILES.” The “left” files close to their respective right files. “SINGLE FILES.” The left files return to their former places. “SINGLE RANK.” Rear rank men divide the distance between their own front rank men and the next front rank men towards the left. “TWO DEEP.” Rear rank men return to their ordinary places. “CHANGE FRONT TO THE RIGHT, ON THE CENTRE.” The centre file faces to the right, all files to the right of it turn to the right about; the whole, except the centre file, step off, _moving by the shortest lines_ to take up their relative distances, as before, from the pivot file, on the new line which it has given; the _direction_ of which line, moreover, may, in all similar cases, be at the time moderately varied by the officer in command. CHANGE FRONT TO THE RIGHT, ON THE RIGHT FILE. CHANGE FRONT TO THE LEFT, ON THE RIGHT FILE. CHANGE FRONT TO THE LEFT, ON THE LEFT FILE. CHANGE FRONT TO THE RIGHT, ON THE LEFT FILE. CHANGE FRONT TO THE RIGHT, ON (any) FILE. CHANGE FRONT TO THE LEFT, ON (any) FILE. On the same principle the file named facing in the direction ordered, and the remainder moving to the front or rear, BY THE SHORTEST LINES, to gain their former relative places in the new line of formation. “ADVANCE.” Move forward; distances and general line from the file of direction. “RIGHT INCLINE.”[16] Each file makes a _half turn_ to the right, maintaining the line in the same general direction as before, though moving obliquely. “RIGHT TAKE GROUND.” _Full turn_ to the right, following the right file. “RETIRE.” Turn to the rear, rear rank men leading. “HALT.” Come to the proper front, and stand fast with ordered arms. “COMMENCE FIRING.”
