| | Uptons |
 | | Upton may have been recognizing this reality, or, more likely, was looking forward to the time when all infantrymen would be armed with breechloaders, their faster reloading making the partner fire unneeded. |
 | | Upton tells us the purpose of the ready reserve, to fill vacant places, relieve the fatigued, and to resupply cartridges, and states that it should be as small as possible for the purpose, we assume probably one "Four". |
 | | Upton does specify whether the point of the sword is to be on the ground, but in directions for parade rest, the hands are to be clasped in front of the body, the left hand uppermost, the point of the sword between the feet. |
