Additional Details:
In the landing drill, a detachment of twenty or more cadets, strung out along a rope after the fashion of a volunteer fire company, drag ashore from their ship a one-pounder gun, and after reaching a vantage point, train it upon an imaginary enemy. Each member has a carbine slung at his back and they thus form a squad of infantry qualified to support the artillery in case of an attack
