SECTION VI.

NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN.

107. TLe exceUency of a Brigade or Batterj de-
pends m a great measure on the conduct of its Non-
commissioned Officers; from them is expected the
strictest attention to aJl their duties, the greatest
sobriety and regularity of conduct, and attention to
dress and appearance. They must insist on strict and
prompt compHance with their orders, but at the same
time use their authority with discretion, and never
allow themselves to be influenced by prejudice or per-
sonal ill-will towards any individual.

108. Non-commissioned Officers should be perfectly
acquainted with all driUs, and be quahfied to teach
recruits every part of their duties, and they are to take
the greatest care in instructing them; and m doing
this they must avoid all harshness or impatience, and
should be careful not to fatigue the men by keeping
them long in one position.

109. Non-commissioned Officers must never make
use of abusive or improper language to the men.
Ihey arc never to suffer a reply when on parade or
other duty.

110. Non-commissioned Officers must exact atten-
tion, obedience, alertness and precision in all move-
ments and drills, giving the words of command in a
decided and authoritative voice.

111. Non-commissioned Officers must be perfectly

QUEBEC aARRISON ARTILLERY.

acquainted with every man in their subdivisions, and
answer readily any question concerning them.

112. They must never strike a soldier, or swear at
him, or use harsh or violent measures, or call him by
opprobious names.

113o They are at all times to pay the greatest atten-
tion to the soldierlike appearance and behaviour of the
men, both in and out of quarters.

114. Much misconduct of the men towards Non-
commissioned Oflficers arises from their not supporting
a proper and equal authority ; for if they allow famili-
arity at any time, when they are placed in situations
where it becomes necessary to exert their authority,
they will find it weakened, and this produces hesita-
tion and delay, two serious evils in the service where
promptitude in giving and alacrity in obeying orders
are so essential.

115. Non-commissioned Officers are never to make
use of coarse, violent, or intemperate language towards
the men ; they are to give their orders plainly and
decidedly, in as few words as possible.

116. They must reflect that example is better than
precept, therefore it becomes their interest, as well as
duty, to be correct in their own conduct.

117. Non-commissioned Officers and Gunners are
to pay the proper compliment to all Officers of the
Army, Navy, Militia, and Voluateers, when in uniform,
and soldiers are to salute all officers and Military Chap-
lains, whom they know to be such, whether dressed

._!/•_

lu uuliurm Or iiOi.

STANDING ORDERS OF THE

118. When a soldier speaks to an Oflficer he is to
stand at rttenuon, as on parade, — having saluted the
Officer on approaching him.

119. When he comeis into a room he is to do the
same, and to take off his cap or busby.

120. When passing an Officer he will salute with
his outward hand to his cap, looking the Officer in the
face whilst passing him.

121. All good Volunteers will, for their own credit,
be obedient to their Officers, attentive to the care of
their arms and accoutrements, as well as exact in the
discharge of their duties, and always neatly and regi-
mentally dressed ; by these means they will show to
their Officers that they feel an interest in the credit of
the Corps, which will secure them every proper indul-
gence, comfort and advantage which their situations
can afford, and preclude the necessity of that most
painful part of an Officer's duty, the inflicting of pun-
ishment on those whom they only wish to benefit as
their comrades in arms.

122. Non-commissioned Officers and men when in
uniform are on no account to smoke in the streets.

123. The first principle that is to be instilled into
the mind of every Volunteer, is strict obedience to
orders, zeal for the service and an anxious desire to
support the character and credit of his own particular
regiment ; these sentiments will lead him to an honour-
able and punctual discharge of all his duties, his occu-
pation will be a pleasure rather than a task, and pun-

QUEBEC GARRISON ARTILLERY.

ishment will only be necessary for the idle and
unprmcipled. Good conduct will always meet its
reward. Irregularity and drunkenness will be severely
punished.

124. There must be no talking while on parade.

125. No man is to reply to an Officer or Non-com-
missioned Officer when found fault with on duty or in
the ranks.

126. Every Volunteer will be treated with the
strictest justice ; if any man has real cause for com-
plaint, he must make it through the Officer command-
ing his Battery ; and without meaning to encourage
trifling complamts, of which every good soldier should
be ashamed, it is to be clearly understood, that all
real grievances shall be redressed.

127. A Volunteer who is not properly dressed is on
no account to salute ; he is to stand at attention till
the Officer passes. The same rule is to be observed
by a soldier who may be carrying anything that pre-
vents him from saluting properly.

128. No Non-commissioned Officer or soldier present
with the Brigade, is to address an Officer in writing
on any subject connected with duty.

129. While seniority will generally give the right
of promotion, yet, if a Non-commissioned Officer is
careless, negligent, or indifferent to his duties, he can
never expect preferment to the prejudice of the service.

130. Non-commissioned Officers may be reduced to
the ranks for neglect of duty or inefficiency on report
of a Hcgimentai Court of Inquiry.
