"Telling Off for Road Duty." The commanding
officer is instructing the Regimental Sergeant-
Major where and how he wishes the men posted-
i.e., placed in position along each side of the road
for duty. This duty is generally carried out when
Royalty or highly-distinguished personages
expected to drive past.

* The Advance Guard." A regiment marching to
or from a Ceremonial Parade, such as a Review or
Royal Escort, throws out two men, followed at
fifty yards' distance by a non-commissioned officer,
who rides another 50 yards from the main body.
These are known as the “Advance Guard." А
similar three men ride after the Regiment and
are known as the "Rear Guard.”

The Drums and Band. The Pride of the Regi-
ment. The Drum Horse of a Cavalry Regiment
has always been a picturesque object, but of late
years more ornamentation than ever is heaped
upon him.
As little by little the many orna-
mental articles of uniform formerly worn by the
rank and file are abolished, an
are abolished, an equivalent is
generally added to the equipment of the drum
horse, such as the embroidery on the drum
banners, a new saddlecloth or shabrack, &c., &c.,
until he is now an object to behold and envy.
