Right about, FACE At the word about, make a half face to the right, draw back the right foot, so that the hollow is opposite to, and two inches from the heel of the left, laying hold of the cartridge box with the right hand. At the word face, the soldier, raising the toes, and keeping the knees straight, will turn on both heels to the rear, bringing back the right heel to the side of the left, quitting the cartridge box. When the soldier carries arms at the first part of the word of command to face to the right about, he shall turn his musket with the left hand, the lock forwards; and he will resume the proper position of shouldered arms, at the moment of placing the right heel even with the left. |
