ROSTER OF DUTIES. 1— In all duties whether with or without arms, and whether performed by Corps or by individual Officers, Non-commidsioned Officers or men, the Roster is to commence froip the Senior downwards. When an Officer, Non- commissioned Officer, or man's tour for more than one duty comes round on the same date, he should be detailed for that duty only, which has the precedence in the classification. CLASSIFICATION. 2— In the classification of duties *' Guards " precede all others, and are of two kinds, viz. : — Guards of Honor and Guards. Of the first kind there are five grades, and are thus classified : 1st— Of the Sovereign. 2nd— Of members of the Royal Family. 3rd— Of Viceroys. 4th— Of the Captain-General, or Governor of a Colony. 5th— Of the Commander-in-Chief at home or abroad. Of the second kind there are three grades, viz ; Ist— Divisional. 2nd— Brigade. 3rd— Regimental. GUARDS OF HONOR. 3— Guards of Honor are to be detailed to attend on Royal per- sonages, and at State ceremonials, consisting as a general rule of one hundred rank and file, with a Captain in command, two Subaltern Officers, (one carrying the first color), a proportion of Sergeants, and the Regimental Band, when they will pay compliments as follows :— 'it 'ilv' if'f < ■ 10 The Sovereign and members of the Boyal Family, will on all oGcasionB be received with the highest honors, viz. : with a '* Koyal Salute," colors lowered, officers saluting, men presenting arms, band playing the " National Anthem " through, when tu the Sovereign*; and first i)art only (six bars), when to other members of the Royal Family. Viceroys, and at State ceremonials, such as the opening or closing of the session of a Colonial Legislature, where a Special Koyal Gommission^r, or the Governor or Lieutenant Governor of a Colony is acting on behalf of the Sovereign, the compli- ments will be the same as before 8tated,(except that the Ist part, only six bars, of the National Anthem may be played.) The National Anthem will not be played in connection with salutes on any other occasions, and is only due to those par- sonages 'who are entitled to a Royal salute. When it is considered expedient to direct the attendance of Guards of Honor to receive distinguished personages on occasions not before specified, a party of 50 rank and file with two officers, and regimental color will be detailed for duty. When a Naval Commander-in-Chief of any foreign station having flag rank, lands for the first time at any port within his command, a Guard of Honor of 60 rank and file with two officers and regimental color will receive him. A General Officer Commandingin-Chief is also entitled to a similar honor at a foreign station, on first tiding up, and on finally quitting his command. 4— The standard of Cavalry, or the Queen*s color of regiments of Infantry, is not to be carried by any Guard, but that over the Sovereign or any member of the Royal Family, or over a a Viceroy, and is only to be used at Guard ipounting or other ceremonials, when a member of the Royal Family or a Viceroy is present, and on occasions when the National Anthem is ap- pointed to be played, at all other times it is to remain with the regiment. The Queen's color will be lowered to the Sovereign, members of the Royal Family and Viceroys only. 5— Foreign Crown Heads and members of foreign Royal Fam- ilies are to oe received with the honors due to the Sovereign, and members of the Royal Family respectively, but their own National Anthem is, when practicable, to be played. 6— As a general rule no salutes will be given by a "Guard of Honor" before eight o'clock in the morning, nor after sunset in the evening, nor Huring the hours of Divine service on Sundays. In exceptional cases the course to be pursued will be deter- mined by the officer commanding the garrison. mily, will on all J, viz.: with a .men presenting irough, when to when to other the openinf( or where a Special enant Governor gn. the compli. lat the Ist part, Ayed.) connection with 9 to those p^r- the attendance personages on k and file with I for duty. foreign station port within his file with two so entitled to a :ing up, and on or of regiments it that over the lly,^ or over a mting or other ' or a Viceroy is inthem is ap* smain with the > the Sovereign, • gn Royal Fam- Sovereign, and but their own ed. t)y a "Guard of er sunset in the 3 on Sundays, will be deter- 11 7— Guards of Honor pay no compliments to any persona inferior in rank to the person in honor to whom it is furnished. 8— According to the regulations and orders for the Militia of Canada, when Guards of donor are detailed to attend on His Excellency the Governor-General, or at State ceremonials, they are to consist, as a general rule, of 100 rank and file with a Captain in command, two Subalterns a proportion of Sergeants, and, when practicable, a band. They are to receive His Ex- cellency the Governor-General with a "General Salute," * standards and Colors flying, officers saluting, and band playing first part of the National Anthem," (six bars ) Guards of Honor, who will pay similar compliments, will be furnished to the Lieutenant Governors of Provioce<) on the opening and proroga- tion of the Provincial Legislatures. N.B.— The order of dress for Guards of Honor is "Review Order." GUARDS. 9— Guards will usually be marched off parade in fours, right leading, except those of less than four files, which may move in line or in file (or as in file) right leading. A Guard under command of an Officer moving in fours or file right leading, the Officer will be in his usual place on the reverse flank, the Sergeant on the proper front of and next to the pivot man of the leading four, or file, and the Corporal one pace in front of that man, the Bugler, if there is'^one will usually be in front of the leading four or file . When moving in line as they may do, especially on approach- ing the old guard, the Officer will be in rear, the Sergeant on the right of the front rank, the Corporal on the right of the rear rank, and the Bugler on the right of the Sergeant. A Guard under the command of a non-commissioned Officer moving in fours or file right leading, the non-commissioned Officer in command will be on the proper front of the pivot man of the rear four or file, and the other non-commissioned Officer (if there is one) will be'on the proper front of and next to the pivot man of the leading four or file, the Bugler (if there is one) will be in front, of the leading four or file. 10— Guards, Reliefs, Rounds and Patrols will march with " sloped arms" except in wet weather when they will move at the '* secure." Corps that use the long rifle drill will have bay- onets fixed except when at the '* secure." Guards will be marched off the parade at the shoulder, and will slope arms when clear of the parade ground by command of their commanders. ^1 Ill ' RELIEVING GUARD. 11 — When practicable the "new Guard" will form line at or about twenty paces in front of the " old Guard," by front formin;;^ or otherwise, and then advance in line. When about eighteen paces from the old Guard they will "shoulder arms" by command. At about fifteen paces they would be halted and dressed, but in situations where it cannot advance in line towards the front of the old Guard, it will move up in fours or files, and will be halted and fronted oi^posite the latter, or if nscessary, on its left in the same line, leaving an interval between them of four or six paces, and when in its place, "Guard, halt." "Front," "Dress." 12 — The new Guard having been dressed as above detailed, will receive the command from its commander "Open order," "March." The *'old Guard," on the approach of the '* new Guards" will have fallen in at " Open order ' with ** Shouldered Arms," and when the new Guard has taken ''Open order," and the rear rink being dressed, both Guards will fproceed as follows, by command of their respective commanders. Old Quard, Present— Arms,— on which the men of the old Guard will " Present Arms," and the officer, or officers (if any), will salute with their swords as usual. The commander of the new Guard will then return the salute. New Quard, Present— Arms— On the word "Arms," the new Guard will proceed as detailed for the old Guard, Old Guard, Shoulder— Arms— On the word "Arms." the men will shoulder, and the officer or,,officers, if any, will carry swords in the usual manner. New Guard, Shoulder— Arms— On the word "Arms,', the new Guard will proceed as detailed for the old Guard. Now the Commanders of both Guards will approach each other, the Commander of the old Guard handing over to the Commander of the new Guard his '• duplicate " Guard report, after which both Commanders will join their Guards and proceed as follows : — Old Guard, Order —Arms, Stand at Base-On which the old Guard will move as ordered. New Guard, Order- Arms. Stand at Base-On which the now Guard will move as ordered. The new Guard will then be told off as follows : brm line at or y front forming about eighteen oulder arms" be halted and in line towards irs or files, and f nscessary, on en them of four lalt," '*Front," bove detailed, *Open order," V Guard," will 3d Arms," and ' and the rear as follows, by the men of the Officers (if any), urn the salute. vord "Arms," Guard, rord "Arms." », if any, will vord "Arms,'. Guard. pproach each \g over to the iuard report, Is and proceed : Base— On TELLING OFF Base— On A GUARD AND DIVIDING INTO RELIEFS. IT t 13— A Guard is generally told off or divided into 3 equal parts termed *' Reliefs." as it requires three men for each post of one sentry. Each man being as a rule two hours on sentry and f uur off, throughout the twenty four hours ; each sentry being re- lieved every two hours, except in cold or inclement weather when they may be relieved every hour, at the discretion of the officer commanding the garrison or station. The number of sentries required having been ascertained, the new Guard will be called to * 'Attention "and numbered, which may be commenced from either flank, and a Guard in two ranks im mustered front and rear rank man alternately, suppose from the left as follows : — On the command, '* Guard from the left number," the left hand man of the front rank will number' him- self one, his rear rank man two, the second from the left of the front rank three, his rear rank man four, and so on in rapid succession to the right, in a loud and distinct tone of voice, the odd number being in each case in the front rank. 14— The new Guard having been told off, and divided into three reliefs as above stated, tne first relief will be sent out, and while it is going around, the Commander of the new Guard will take over the property in change of the Guard, according to the list in the old Guard report. 15— All stores and furniture (including the sentry box, watch coats) in charge of a Guard, are to be handed over from one Commander of a Guard to another. The Commander of the re- lieving Guard will be responsible for their correctness, and will certify in his report as to the state of each article when taken over. MODE OF FORMING UP AND MARCHING RELIEFS. 16 — Reliefs will fall in with " Ordered Arms," and when less than four men they will be formed in single rank, Corporal on the right, but when of four men or upwards, they will be formed in two ranks at ** close order," Corporal on the right of the front rank. The first relief will fall in as above on the left of, in line with, and about two paces from its Guard, turned in the same direction, the numbers running in correct rotation from the right. Other reliefs will fall in as above, but on the ground at present occupied by the old Guard, turned to the proper front. m MARCHING RELIEFS. 17— Reliefs will be directed to " Shoulder Arms " before being marched off, and may be marched in line ob open ground, but in streets or in narrow places they should be marched in file, or as in file, (right leading.) When marching in line the Corporal will be on the right of his relief ; when in file, or as in ble, ne will be on the front of and next to the front rank man of the rear file or man. When the first relief of a new Guard is sent out, a Corporal of the old Guard will accompany it (falling in on left of front rank as soon as it has been inspected) so as to lead the way to the sentries, and to bring in the relieved sentries of his Guard. In going out with the new relief, if it moves in line he will be on the left flank, if it moves in file, or as in file, he will be in front of the front rank man of the leading file or man. As soon as all the sentries are relieved the Corporals will change places, and the Corporal of the old Guard will take command. Keliefs on the march carry th.:ir arms as directed in No, 10. RELIEVING OR POSTING SENTRIES. 18— On the approach of the Relief a sentry will place himself with shouldered arms in front of his sentry box ; but, during challenging hours he will not do so, until he has received a satisfactory reply to his challenge and enquiries. The relief should if possible move in front of the sentries to be relieved, and if in line it should move with its front at right angles to th^ir front. The Corporal of the relief will proceed as follows :— At about ten paces from the sentry to be relieved, "Relief Shoulder Arms ; at about six paces from the sentry "Re ief halt." We will now suppose the relief to be in two ranks in line. On the Corporal's command ''Sentries, Port — Arms," the old sentry and the man to relieve him(who should be the right hand man of the front rank, for ihstance, number one) will both port arms, and the latter move out from the relief, and place himself at one pace from, and direct in front of the former, turned towai'ds him ; number two, z. e. the right hand man of the rear rank, will step up into the place vacated by number one, and thus be- come the right band man of the front rank and the next for sentry. The remainder of the rear rank will take a side pace to the right, and thus create a vacant place on the left of the rear rank. The old sentry will then give over his orders, the Corporal referring to the board of orders to see if they are correctly given ; then on the Corporal's word " Pass," the old sentry will take one pace to his left, and then move into the vacant place in the relief turned to the rear, and the new sentry will take one pace to his front, into the place vacated by the former. On tbe 15 s " before being n ground, but in a m file, or as in Corporal will be le, he will be on rear file or man. out, a Corporal on left of front -lead the way to « of his Guard. line he will be e, he will be in ' man. As soon change places, »mand. JKeliefs 10. 'RIES. 1 place himself ox ; bu* during has received a 38.

On tbe Corporal's commands "Shoulder Arms," "Front," both will shoulder arms and front, then on the Corporal's caution and com- mand " Belief by the right, quick march," the Relief will step off together, and when it has proceeded ten paces, it will receive the command from the Corporal "Relief, Slope Arms," and so on with each sentry to be relieved. At the next sentry number two would move out, and the remainder of the front rank would take a side pace to the right, and the left hand man of the rear rank, t,e., (the former relieved man) step up on the left of the front rank, and thus again create a vacant place on the left of the rear rank for the relieved sentry to move into. It may have been observed that when an odd number moves out for sentry, that the right hand man of the rear rank moves up on the right of the front rank, and the remainder of the rear rank take a side pace to the right, and when an even number moves out for sentry, that the remainder of the front rank take a side pace to the right, and the left hand man rear rank steps up on the left of the front rank. When the Relief is moving iu file, and the man for sentry has moved out, the remainder of the relief should move in such a manner so as to always have the front rank man of the lead- ing file next for sentry, and the rear rank place of the rear file vacant for the relieved sentry to move into. 19 When the relief has returned, and all the men of the old Guard have fallen in, the procedure will be as follows : — Old Guard, Attention, Shoulder — Arms— On which the old Guard will move as ordered. Arms— On New Guard, Attention, Shoulder- which the new Guard will move as ordered. Old Guard, Olose-Order— March— Old Guard, Fours, Rijgrht (or Bifirht Turn) or Fours, Left, (or Left Turn), QuicK, Maroh— On which the old Guard will move as ordered. New Guard, Present— Arms— This command will be given as the old Guard is marched off. New Guard, Shoulder — Arms, Glose Order, March— These commands will be given as soon as the left or right of the old Guard is clear of the ground on which it stood. Guard, Fours, Riffht, (or Rigrht Turn)— On which the new Guard will move as ordered. Left Wheel, Quick March —On which the new Guard will step off together and wheel to the left- Left Wheel when its i 16 leading four (or file) arrives on the ground on which the old Ouard stood. Haiti Front, Dress, Order— Arms, Stand at— Base, Attention, Shoulder— Arms, Biffht— Turn, Dismiss— When the new Guard is on the ground formerly occupied 1w the old Guard, the Commander will order it to Halt, Front, Dress, Order Arms, and Stand at Ease, He will then read the orders of the Guard to his men, after which he will dismiss them in the usual manner. When the first Relief comes in the orders must be read to the men who have been on sentry. Old Guard, Slope— Arms— When about ten paces clear of the ground upon which it stood. 20 N.B. — All Guards on dismounting are to be marched with the utmost regularity to their regimental parades, where they are to be inspected ana their arms examined. In the case of an Officer's Guard, the men on being found clean and regular, are to be dismissed b^ the Commander, after he has reported to any OfiScer of superior rank, should there be one on the parade. If the Guard be in charge of a Non-Commissioned Officer, when on the parade ground he will get it ready for inspection, and report to the Orderly OfBcer or Adjutant previous to dismissal. WHAT IS A SENTRY? 21— A Sentry is a soldier placed in such a position as to be able to watch the approach of the enemy, to prevent surprise, to pro* tect property, to stop any person who endeavors to pass his post contrary to orders. Sentries should be placed before the arms of all Guards, at the quarters of General and Command- ing Officers, and over any person or property to be guarded. The proper front of a sentry s post, and the extent of his walk, should be pointed out to him when he is posted. Sentries walking backwards and forwards on their posts must do so in a brisk and soldier-like manner, turning about at the ends thereof by the front. In doing so, if moving at the. slope, they need not bring their rifles down to a perpendicular position, but re- main at the slope. They must not on any account quit, give up, or allow their arms to be taken from them, neither must they lounge, sing, smoke or converse with any body, except when spoken to on a point of business, in which case they will answer civilly, and in as few words as possible, and walk on ; nor must they stand in their sentry boxes in good or even in moderate weather, but when tired they may stand at ease properly about five minutes in every half hour. In case of illness they should which the old Stand at— ight— Turn, the firround e Commander er Arms, and arders of the imiss them in in the orders ten paces clear » marched with , where they are i the case of an i regular, are to reported to any the parade.

They will carry their arms at *'the slope." or ** trail '' and may change arms correctly when in those positions. (In Corps armed with the short rifle they may ** support arms," when at the halt, and may also move at the *' sling.") On the approach of the Belief, Sentries will place themselves with shouldered arms in front of their sentry boxes, but in challenging hours they will not do so until they nave received a satisfactory answer to their challenge. COMPLIMENTS PAID BY SENTBIES, 22— Between the hours of Beveille and Retreat, on the approach of an Officer, or party entitled to a salute, when he or it IS at least fifteen paces distant, a Sentry will salute as follows : if on the move, will halt and front ; if standing at ease, will spring to attention, and in either case will come to the shoulder, and present arms to the Sovereign, Members of the Boyal Family (Viceroys and Governors within their jurisdiction), also to General and Field Officers, and armed parties, and shoulder arms to Officers of inferior rank and unarmed parties. Sentries in their sentry boxes will salute by coming smartly to attention. Between the hours of Retreat and Reveille Sentries will not present arms, (except in one case, e.t*., to the Field Officer of the day termed Grand Rounds), but so long as they can dis- cern an officer they will come to their front, on his approach, aod stand steady at the shoulder till he has passed ; but dur- ing challenging hours they will not do so, until they have received a satisfactory reply to their challenge. The Sentry on the Guard room door, which is usually No. 1 post, will, in addition to paying compliments paid by the other Sentries of the Guard perform the special duty of turning out the Guard, by calling out in a loud and distinct tone of voice : " Guard turn out," at the commencement of Reveille, Retreat, and Tattoo sounding, and between the hours of Reveille and Retreat, to the Sovereign, the several Members of the Royal Family, Viceroys ani Governors, within their jurisdiction, to General Officers and the Officer commanding the Garrison or Station, if not under the rank of full Colonel. In the case of Regimental Guardn to their Regimental Commanding Officer (irrespective of his Army rank) once a day. On the approach of an armed party, and at all times, in case of fire or any other unusual occurence, and also on the approaqh of a body of troops. II ! |i 18 Sentries mounted over a Royal palace, or furnished from a Royal Guard, will present arms to the Members of the Royal Famil]^! and to armed corps only. To Officers of whatever rank in uniform passing their post the^ will stand with shouldered arms. In like manner Sentries furnished from Guards over the residences of Viceroys and Governors will 6ot present arms to persons of inferior rank. Sentries mounted over the Quarters of a General Officer are to present to General Officers only, to Officers below that rank they will stand with shouldered arms. Sentries are to pay the same compliments to the Officers of the RovhI Navy and Marines, to Officers of Militia, and to Officers of volunteers holding commissions, when in uniform, as are directed to be paid to Officers of the army. When persons or parties entitled to a present pass in rear of a Sentry's post the Sentry will stand steady at the shoulder— turned to his proper front — until passed. GUARDS TURNING OUT TO PAY COMPLIMENTS, &c. 23— When Guards turn out they will fall in with shouldered arms, at open order, the Officer commanding will place himself with carried sword, three paces in front of tne second file from the right (should there be two Officers the second in command will place himself with carried swori three paces in front of the second file from the left), the Sergeant on the right of the front rank, the Corporal on the right of the rear rank. If the Guard is commanded by a Non-commissioned Officer he will place himself on the right of the front rank, and the next in command on the right of the rear rank. Drummers and Buglers, (if any) on the right of the Non commissioned Officer, and in line with the front rank. WHEN GUARDS SHOULD TURN OUT. 24 — All Guards are to turn out at the commencement of the Reveille, Retreat and Tattoo sounding, when they are to be carefully inspected by their Commanders, whose duty it is to ascertain that all the men are present and regular in every respect. Guards are to get under Arms at all times when armed parties (including Militia or Volunteer Corps) approach their post, and stand with shouldered arms. When a fire breaks out, or any alarm is raised, all Guards are to be immediately under arms, and so continue until the fire is extinguished, or the cause of alarm has subsided.

(By the expression' 'Armed Corps" is meant a Regiment of Cavalry, a Battery of Artillery with its guns, a Battalion of Infantry with or without Colors ; Garrison Artillery of not less than four Batteries, and Engineers of not less than four companies.) A Mounted Party armed will draw and carry swords to Guards turning out to it. Guards will turn out to the Officers of the day when visited by them, and present arms to the Field Officer of the day. Regimental Guards will turn out once a day to their Regi- mental Commanding Officer (irrespective oi his army rank), and present arms. Guards are to turn out to Standards, Guidons, or Colors, if uncased, and salute them with the highest honors, Officers saluting, men presenting arms, trumpets or bugles sounding a flourish, and the drums beating a rufne. 27 — N, B.— Officers will salute with their swords every time their Guard presents arms. When persons or parties entitled to a Salute pass m the rear of a Guard, which must have turned out as usual, the Guard will stand steady at the shoulder turned to its proper front, and no drum is to beat or bugle sound. When such persons or parties pass Guards while in the act of relieving, both Guards are to salute as they stand, receiving the word of command from the senior Officer or Non-commissioned Officer present. Guards and parties on the march will also pay the prescribed compliments (shoulder) to General Officers in uniform. Non-commissioned Officers in command of parties are on all occasions to pay the proper compliments when passing Officers in uniform. GUARDS RECEIVING GRAND OR VISITING ROUNDS. 28 — The following form will be observed when a Guard is visited during the day. by the Field Officer, or Captain of the day, termed Grand, or Visiting Rounds. It will turn out as usual and Present Arms to the Field Officer, (the Sentry also presenting with the Guard) and will stand steady at the shoulder to the Captain. CHALLENGING BY SENTRIES. 29— When it gets dark, (but as usual between last post of Tattoo and Reveille), Sentries will challenge in the following manner : On the approach of any person a Sentry will (halt if 'Present A ring." ment of Cavalry of Infantry with t less than four >mpanies.) pry swords to all day when visited »f the day. y to their Regi- army rank), and )n«i, or Colors, if honors, Officers buffles sounding rords every time ties entitled to a have turned out loulder turned to le sound. When act of relieving;, ing the word of nissioned Officer rill also pay the Beers in uniform, trties are on all passing Officers VISITING hen a Guard is r Captain of the ill turn out as [the SSentry also steady at the 81 on the move), port arms, and call out in a sharp tone, " Halt, who comes there?" When on a post where a sudden rush could be made upon him, he will at once come to the charge. If the person approaching gives a satisfactoi^ reply, the Sentry will say, " Pass friend, all's well," remaining at the port or charge until he has passed. If the person approaching answers Grand (or Visitiuir) rounds, when there is no countersign, the Sentry will sa;r, **Pass Grand (or Visiting) Rounds, all's well," shouldering his arms at the same time, and presenting as they pass if the^ are Grand Rounds ; but when there is a counter- sign, he will say, ** Stand Grand (or Visiting) Rounds, advance one and give the countersign," at the same time coming down to the charge. In this position he will receive the countersign, and if it is correct will say, " Pass Grand (or Visiting) rounds, all's well," and proceed as above described. All Sentries will proceed as above^ except the Sentry on or near the Guard room door, for which see No. 33. RELIEVING OR POSTING SENTRIES DURING CHALLENGING HOURS. 30— On the approach of the Relief which will move as in the day a Sentry will challenge as usual, on which the Commander of the Relief will proceed as follows : *' Relief, Shoulder Arms, Halt." (This word Relief must be given in a loud and distinct tone of voice, as it is intended to serve two purposes, viz. : as an answer to the Sentry and as a caution to the Relief). The Sentry if there is no countersign will then say, 'Tass Relief all's well,' shoulderin|r arms at the same time, on which the Commander of the Relief will give the command, ** Relief Quick," (or if in line, "By the right Quick,") "March." and then proceed as in the day. But when there is a countersign, the Sentry after challenging and receiving the answer "Relief," will say ** stand Belief, advance one and give the countersign," at the same time coming down to the charge. In this position he will receive the countersign from the Commander of the Relief, who will ad- vance alone and deliver the same, and return to his Relief. The Sentry will then say "Pass Relief, all's well," shouldering arms at the same time, and the whole will then proceed as usual. U u ES. Ben last post of in the following itry will " "^' ®N^jg/^ I HI! ROLINDS AND PATROLS ROUNDS. 31— When Grand (or Visiting) Bounds visit the Sentries, a Non-commissioned Officer and (if the strength of the Guard will admit) a file of men will accompany him. These men should be regularly inspected bv the Commander before being marched off, as they are intended to relieve any Sentry who may require relieving. They also answer as an escort. They fall in and are marched as a Relief, except that the Non- commissioned Officer precedes them, and the Officer follows. On approaching the Sentry the Non-Gommissioned Ofilcer will give the command, ** Rounds, shoulder arms," and halt them at six paces from the Sentry. He will then take the board of orders from the, Sentry box, and hand it to the Officer for reference, after which he will give the command, *' Sentry, Port Arms, give over your Orders." When the orders have bwn given over, the Non-commissioned Officer will then give the command " Shoulder Arms/' and himself replace the board of orders in the Sentry box. He will then march off to the next Sentry, when he will proceed in a like manner, sloping arms when ten pices past each Sentry. During challenging hours the Non commissioned Officer will answer fSr the rounds, and if there is a countersign will give it over to the Sentries. And on returning to the Guard they will be dismissed in the usual manner. PATROLS. 32— When an Officer in command of a Guard visits his Sentries, he will be accompanied by a Non-commissioned Officer and a file of men, who will proceed as above. When a Non-commis- sioned Officer visits his Sentries he will take a ifile uf men with him and proceed as above. — — — -^ GUARD RECEIVING GRAND OR VISITING ROUNDS DURING CHALLENGING HOURS. 33— On the approach of the Rounds, the Sentry on or near the Guard room door, will port arms and challenge as usual, and X. ?OLS the Sentries, a of the Guard These men er before being ^ny Sentry who escort.

To Grand Rounds the Guard and Sentry will present arms as usual, to Visiting Bounds it will remain steady at the shoulder. If there is a coyntersign (as soon as the Commander has ascertained from the Sentrjr that it is Grand (or Visiting Rounds) a Sergeant or Corporal will be sent out with the left or right file of the Guard, according to the position of the rounds, he will move next to the front rank man, the rear rank man moving up on the left of his front rank man. When about ten paces from the Rounds he will order his men to " Halt and Port Arms," and will then repeat the challenge, '* Who Comes There ?" and on the answer Grand (or Visiting) Rounds, will say, *' Stand Grand (or Visiting) Rounds— advance one and give the counter- sign," on which the file will come down to the charge, and the Onicer, or the Non-commissioned Officer accompanying the Hounds will advance and give the countersign. The Non* commissioned Officer of the Escort will go back and repeat the countersign to the Commander of the Guard, who (if the word is correct) will call out, "Advance Grand (or Visiting) Rounds, all's well." The Non-commissioned Officer of the Escort having returned to his men, will then order them to ** Shoulder Arms, turn inwards and step back three paces each." The Hounds will pass between them. If they are Grand Rounds, the Escort will be ordered to present arms, the Guard will also present arms as they approach. As soon as the Rounds have passed the Escort will be ordered by the Non commissioned Officer to shoulder (if they have presented) and then to turn inwards, on which they will turn towards the Guard. They will then be marched back and fall in on the flank of the Guard, taking up the '* present arms, ".if the rest of the Guard are at the present. After the Grand (or Visitin^^) Rounds is satisfied the ranks will be closed and the Guard dismissed in the usual manner. N.B. — It will be found a good plan to have a Non-commission- ed Officer and a file of men previously warned to act as Escort,- 80 that there may be no delay when the Guard turns out for the rounds. The Non-commissioned Officer for Escort could ascertain from the Sentry (on turning out), the description a'hd direction oi the rounds and and double the Escort out with shouldered arms. I 24 34— In order to make still clearer the instruction given in Part I, of this work, a fully detailed account of the procedure of four Guards of different strength, supposed to have been furnished by the D. R. Battalion, who relieved the N. G. W. Battalion, is now given as follows :— On the day of the following appeared in the Brigade Orders : *' The D. R. Battalion will furnish the Brigade Guards to-morrow, viz. : ** 1st— Main Guard, consisting of 1 Subaltern, 1 Sergeant,! Corporal, 1 Bugler and 21 men. *' 2nd— Store Guard, consisting of 1 Sergeant, 1 Corporal, 1 Bugler and 15 men.

The Buglers according to their Roster (kept by the Bupfle Major), and tne men accord- ing to their respective companies Duty Roster (kept by Com- pany Orderly Sergeants) under the supervision of their Color Sergeants.'' 36— The above having been duly warned, and the day appointed having come for the performance of said duties, the procedure was as follows :— At or about two minutes to the appointed hour for Guard mounting, which ia usually ten a m., tne Orderlv Bugler souDd- ed '* Orderlv Sergeants," on which the Orderly Sergeants of Companies fell in in line (on there^mental parade ground) in front of the Sergeant-Majnr, according to the number of their respective companies, No. 1 being on the right. The Sergeant- Major having seen them in their proper places, then gave the command " Number," on which the Sergeants numbered from right to left respectively. The Sergeant-Major then gave the command " Right Dress," dressed them as usual and gave the command **Eye8 Front." He then gave the caution and com- nyind, " Column on No. 1, Outwards Turn," on which No. 1 turned to the right, and the remainder to the left ; he then gave the command *' Quick March," on which all except No. 1 stepped off togetner, and each in succession from No. 1, on n given in Part ocedure of four been furnished V.

(In two ranks, where there were four or more men.) The waiting men on the left, each Bugler on the right. The Non-Commissioned Officers for guard fell in on the direct - ing flank of, and four paces from the column, in line, facing from it, the senior duty on the right, the Corporals covering their respective Sergeants. When all were steady in their places, the Sergeant*Maior gave the command, "Parade, by the left — Dress up." On which the men took a pace to their front, then shuffled up the remaining fifteen inches. The front rank men lookinf^ to their left, took up their dressing, and the rear rank men looking to their front, cor* rected their covering and distance. Each Orderly Sergeant, when the man on his right was steady in his place, turned three- auarters right about, then took a pace to his right rear, ressed his men, and gave the command, *' Eyes Front," then turned three-quarters left about, closed on his front rank. This being done the Sergeant-Major gave the command, '* Call your Rolls," on which each Orderly Sergeant took a pace to his front, turned half right, and moved in front of the centre of his men and called his roll. He then inspected his men, accord- ing to rule, and fell in on the left of his front rank, and stood at ease. While the Orderly Sergeants were inspecting their men, the Sergeant-Major inspected the Non-commission^ Officers, open- ing the ranks to do so ; he then closed the ranks and numbered them in the usual manner, after which he gave the command, "Shoulder Arms"; then *' Column on No. 1— Outwards turn." On which the number ones, {i.e. the Sergeant and Corporal on the right) turned to the right, and the remainder to the left, the Corporals in the front rank taking a pace to their left after turn- ing. The Sergeant-Major then gave the command "Quick March," on which the number ones stood fast, the Corporal re- covering arms, the remainder stepped off together. Corporal No. 2 counting his paces, and on commencing the last pace of the distance required for his guard, tapped the Corporal preceding him ; having done oo, he and the Sergeant of his guard halted, turned about, he recovering arms covered correctly ; the otherc^ proceeded in a similar manner, the Sergeant-Major superintend- ed the covering, and when correct gave the word "Steady," on 26 which the Corporals shouldered arms. He then gave the corn* mands, " Order Arms/' " Stand at Ease." The Sergeant-Major then called the duties to attention, and gave the caution * 'Collect Reports," and called out No. 1, No. 2, and so on to the rear of the column, when each Orderly Sergeant in succession, as the number of his company was called, answered (as to the state of his duties) ** Present, sir." The Sergeant- Major then gave the command ** Left Turn," on which all except the Non-commissioned officers for duty, turned to the left ; the Orderly-Sergeants after turning placed themselves on the proper front of, and next to the front rank man of the leading file, (or man) by taking a pace to their right with their right foot, and one back with their left. The Sergeant-Major then informed the men as to the Guard each Corporal was marking for j he then gave the caution and command — "On your respective Com- manders and Markers— Quick March." On which the men step- ped ofif together, (shouldering arms on the first pace) and moved toward the commander or marker of the Guard for which they had been detailed, and fell in with ordered arms, (two deep, those duties of four or more men) on the right of, and in line with their respective commanrler or marker. In those Guards having a Sergeant and Corporal the former moved out in front and sized his men from flanks to centre, then gave the command, ''Left Dress," dressed them, and gave the command *'Eyes Front"— ''Stand at Ease," then placed himself in rear of tlib centre of his guard. Where there was but one Non-commissioned officer to a Guard, (as soon as the man that formed next on his right was steady in his place) he proceeded in like manner to the Sergeants. The Buglers formed up on the right of th^r respec- tive Guards. The waiting men formed up together, correctly sized as a Guard, forming the rear of the column, they stood at ease with the Guard next preceding them; the commander of that Guard saw that they were correctly sized before standing his own Guard at ease. The Orderly Sergeants moved towards and formed line oppos- ite to, and at eight paces from the centre of the directinsr flank of the duties, turned towards them, the Orderly Sergeant of No. 1 on the right. The duties having formed and stood at ease as above stated, I the Sergeant-Major then called them to attention, and proceeded as follows:— "Tell off the duties,"— Main Guard— Store Guard Magazine Guard— Regimental Guard. Uoon which the senior Non-commissioned officer of each duty, as his Guard was named, answered (as to the state of his Guard on parade, in a loud and distinct tone of voice,) thus : "One Sergeant, one Corporal, one| Bugler, and twenty-one men— present, sir." 1 gave the com* attention, and ut No, 1, No. 2, rderly Serjeant ialled, answered The Sergeant' which all except to the left ; the 98 on the proper leading file, (or right foot, and len informed the ng for I he then i^spective Com- sh the men step- lace) and moved for which they rms, (two deep, fof , and in line n those Guards ved out in front ^e the command, ommand "Eyes if in rear of tlib on-commissioned med next on his ce manner to the b of their respec- ?ether, correctly m, they stood at B commander of before standing rmed line oppos- lirectinar flank of Sergeant of No. as above stated, 1, and proceeded rd — Store Guard I'hich the senior lard was named, e, in a loud and le Corporal, one 27 The Sergeant- Major then gave the caution : — " Left Form into Line," on which the left hand man of the front rank of each Guard (waiting men also) turned to the left, the remainder half left, the senior Non-commissioned officer of each duty moved up between the Bugler and his Guard, and the Corporals covered their respective Sergeants. The abov« being done, the Sergeant- Major gave the command, " Quick March, on which all except the lett hand men of front rank stepped off together, and marched by the shortest way to their place in line, there halted, the front rank looking to the left for its dressing, and the rear rank looking to the front, corrected its covering and distance. The Sergeant- Major dressed them from the left, and gave the command, ''Eyes Front ;" then moved in front of the centre and gave the command *'Fix Bayonets," on which all fixed bayonets except the Non-commissioned officers and Buglers. This don ^ he (rave the caution—** Open Order"— on which the right hand man of the rear rank of each duty, and the rear rank man on the left of the line, stepped back two paces in slow time, and turned to the right ; the Corporal of the Guard on the right covered them, and gave the word ** Steady," on which the Sergeant-Major gave the command ** March," when the remainder of the rear rank of each duty stepped back two paces, and the flank men turned to the front at the same time and raised their disengaged arm horizontally from the elbow, and each Corporal, shouldering arms, dressed his rear rank, saying thus:— "Main Guard," —'* Store Guard." and so on "Rear rank. Dress," and when dressed — "Eyes Front," after which each Corporal (if not a com- mander) placed himself on the right of the rear rank, and if a commander resumed his place between the Bugler and his front rank. 37 — N.B. — At this stage, the Sergeant-Major handed over the parade to the Adjutant, at the same time reporting the state thereof. Then the Adjutant accom{>anied by the Sergeant- Major proceeded to inspect the duties minutely, and as laid down in the "Field Exercise"— Part II., S. 28. 38— The Adjutant having completed the inspection, handed the Regimental Duties over to the RegimentaJ Orderly Officer, who (also attended Guard Mounting parade) marched them off accoiding to rule. See No. 9. He then directed the Regimental Orderly Sergeant, (who was his orderly, and also attended Guard Mounting parade, whose place was on the right of the Company Orderly Sergeants when formed up in line facing the parade), to dismiss the Regimental waiting men. 39. — The Adjutant directed the Sergeant-Major to dismiss the Orderly Sergeants, and marched the Brigade duties to the Bri- gade parade ground, and handed the same over to the Brigade 28 Major, to whom the jofficor for guard also reported himself, at the the houi appointed for parade. 40— The Brigade Sergeant-Major then formed the Guards up in column, by tne left — then formed them into line, and proceeded in a similar manner to the Regimental Sergeant-Major, handing the duties over to the Brigade- Major when ready for inspection ; then the Brigade- Major accompanied by the Brigade Sergeant- Major proceeded to inspect them. 41— The Brigade-Major having completed the inspection, directed the officer for guard to take postj on which he drew his sword, (as laid down in the Sword Exercise) and placed himself three paces in rear of the centre of his guard, (i.e. the Main Guard). The Brigade-Major then handed the duties over to the Field Officer of the Day, who (attended Brigade Guard Mount- ing parade) marched them off to their respective guards, he then directed the Adjutant of said corps to have the Brigade waiting men marched back to their Regimental parade ground, and there dismissed, with the understanding that they might be called on for duty at any moment. 42— The Main Guard was marched and approached the old Main Guard (to be relieved! as directed in Nos. 9, 10 and 11. The commander then gave the command ** Dress," on which the Ser- geant turned three-quarter left about and placed himself on the right of the Bugler, the Corporal stepped up into the Sergeant's place, the men took up their dressing by the right. When com- pleted the Sergeant gave the command '* Eyes Front." on which the men looked to the front, and the Sergeant and Corporal re- sumed their respective places. The commander then gave the caution : " Open Order," on which he recovered his sword, and passing by the right, he placed himself one pace in front of the second file from the right, the ri^ht and left hand men of the rear rank stepped back two paces in slow time and turned to the right ; the Corporal covered them, and gave the word '* Steady." The commander then gave the command '* March." on which he took two paces to the front, and brought bis sword to the carry ; the remainder of the rear rank stepped back two paces in slow time, the flank men turned to the front, and raised their disen- gaged arm horizontally from the elbow, the Corporal placed him- self in position to and dressed the rear rank, giving the i^ommand ** Rear Rank, Dress," and when dressed '* Eyes Front," on which they looked to the front, the flank men dropped their arms, and the Corportil resumed his place on the right of the rear rank. 43— The old Guard, standing on its ground at open order, then received the command from its commander, *' Old Guard— Present Arms," on which the officer saluted with his swerd, the I himself, at the the Guards up , and proceeded Major, handing for inspection ; igade Sergeant- the inspection, lich he drew bis placed himself (I.e. the Main ities over to the Guard Mount- re guards.

The Bugler sounded the Guard Salute. The new Guard then received the command from .its com- mander, "New Guard— Present Arms," on which they proceed- ed in like manner to the old Guard. The old Guard then received the command from its com- mander, *' Old Guard— Shoulder Arms," on which the men and Sentry shouldered arms ; the officer recovered his sword with the first motion of the rifles, and carried on the second. The new Guard then received the command from its com- mander, **New Guard — Shoulder Arms," on which they pro- ceeded in like manner to the oldH^uard. The commanders of the old and new Guards then approached each other, and the former handed his duplicate guard report to the latter, and both resumed their places. The commander of the old Guard then gave the command, "Old Guard— Order Arms," on which the whole ordered arms, and the officer sloped swords. Ue then gave the command, ''Stand at Ease," on which they moved as ordered, and the officer simply drew back his right foot 6 inches, and slightly bent his left knee. The commander of the new Guard then gave the commands, "New Guard— Order Arms," '* Stand at Ease,*' on which they moved in a similar manner to the old Guard. 44— At this stage the officers fell out, the Sergeants sprung to attention, shouldered arms, and approached each other, the Cor- porals stepping into their places. The Sergeant of the new Guard ascertained from the Sergeant of the old Guard the num- ber of sentries required by day and by night. The Sergeant and Corporal of the old Guard then resumed their places, and the Sergeant of the new Guard called his Guard to attention, told it off as directed in No. 13. Then gave the command, " From 1 to 7— Shoulder A.rms," on which they and the Corporal shouldered ; hethen^ave the command. "Close Order" "March," *' Right Turn," *• Dismiss," " Remainder— Stand at Ease." The new re- lief on being dismissed proceeded to the guard room, and took off all their accoutrements, with the exception of their waist-belt, side- arms, and one pouch. 45— After which the Sergeant of the new Guard gave the com- mand, "First Relief, Fall In," when the Corporal and men of the same turned out smartly, and fell in as directed in No. 16, the Corporal on the right of the front rank, under the super- vision of the Sergeant, who, when formed, gave the command, "Relief, Shoulder Arms," The Sergeant then reported to the w '■ 80 officer that the relief was ready fur inspection,on which the officer, accompanied by the ISerfi^eant, inspected it, (but without examin- ing arms), to see that they were clean, and accoutrements on cor- rectly. The officer then gave the command, ** Kelief, Close Order — March," on which it moved as usual, and the Corporal ot the old Guard placed himself on the left of the front rank. The officer then marched it off as directed in No. 17. The relief moved, and relieved the sentries of the old Guard, as directed in Nos. 17 and 18. 46 _ While the relief was going round the commander of the new Guard took over the property in charge of the old Guard, according to the list in the duplicate guard report, «vhich he pre- viously received from the commander of the old Guard ; he also caused the prisoners to fall in, and answer to their names. As he called them out from the duplicate guard report, he inspected and dismissed them. 47. — The relief of the old Guard, on its return, was marched by the Corporal of the same to the left of, and about three paces from the old guard, and were there halted, fronted and dressed by him. He then gave the caution and command, *' Belief- Open Order— March," on which it moved as usual, under the supervision of tbe Corporal, who then reported its return to the Sergeant of his guard, and resumed his place on the right of his relief. The Sergeant of the old Guard reported to the com- mander of the same, who inspected them, accompanied by the Sergeant. Having completed his iqspection, he ordered the Sergeant to dismiss them, on which the Sergeant closed the ranks of the Kelief, and dismissed it in the usual manner. The Sergeant of the old Guard called his guard lo attention, and ordered the old Relief (who were already fully equipped as the re- mainder of the Guard) to fall in their places ; Having done so, he ordered the Guard to stand at ease, and reported to his com- mander, that the Guard was all present, and ready to march off. The Corporal of the new Guard, on the old Belief being fronted, fell out^ and reported to the Sergeant of his guard, that the sentries were all correctly posted, and fell in with his guard. The Sergeant then report^ the same to the commander. 48— The commanders then resumed their places in front of their respective Guards, and proceeded as follows : — The commander of the old Guard gave the commands, *' Old Guard — Attention" — " Shoulder Arms." On the first command, the whole sprung to attention, on the second command they moved as ordered, and the officer brought his sword to the carry. The commander of the new Guari then gave the commands, *'New Guard— Attention," "Shoulder Arms," on which they moved in a similar manner to the old Guard. 9 in front of 31 The commander of the old Guard then gave the caution.

After which he gave the command "Old Guard, Fours" — "Right," on which it moved as ordered. He then gave the command, *' Quick March.'* On the word "march " from the commander of the old Guard, the commander of the new Guard ^ave the command, "New Guard — Present Arms," on which it moved as usual, and the sentry on No. 1 Post also presented arms, the officer saluting with his sword. And when the left of the old Guard was clear of the ground on which it stood, the commander of the new Guard gave the command, "New Guard— Shoulder Arms," on which it moved as usual. The commander then turned about, facing his Guard, and gave the command, "Guard, Fours — Right," on which it moved as usual. He then gave the command, "Left— Wheel, Quick — March." On whicn it moved as udual, and when its leading four approached the left of the ground formerly occupied by the old Guard, the commander again gave the command, " Left — Wheel " and when direct on the ground formerly occu- pied by the old Guard, he gave the command "Guard— Halt," —''Front,"— "Dress." The Sergeant dressed the Guard as usual, gave the command, " Eyes— Front," and resumed his place. The Commander then gave the command '* Order — Arms," "Stand at— Ease." He then sent for the orders for the Guard ; having received the same, he called them to attention, and read the orders of the Guard to his men (and also to the first Relief on its return). After which he gave the commands, •f Shoulder— Arms," ^* Right— Turn," "Dismiss," on which the whole moved as usual. 49— When the old Guard was about ten paces from the ground on which it stood, it sloped arms, by order of its commander, and in this manner was marched with the utmost regularity to its Regimental parade ground, shouldering arms by command on approaching the same, and when on the ground it occupied the day previous, when formed up, it there received the command from its commander "Guard-Halt,"— "Front,"— "Dress," on which the whole moved as ordered. The commander then gave the command, "Fix — Bayonets," on which all but the non- commissioned officers proceeded as ordered.
