The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol —♦-{meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too larga to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner left tc right and top to bottom, as many frames as required.

No. 2 Military District, Stanley Barracks, Toronto. vJ2 n PREFACE. This Hand Book has been prepared with a view, to enable Instructors to follow more close- i ly, the daily table laid down for the training to be given an Infantry Battalion in a twelve days camp, and also, that they may perceive at a glance, not only the sections to be taught, during each drill, but what part of the drill those sections refer to ; thus sparing them much unnecessary waste of time. An occasional glance at the drill to be taught will give the Instructor confidence that he IS doing the work expected of him, for while Instructors may have a fair knowledge of the Infantry Drill in general, yet they often find it difficult to keep to the sec- tions laid down for each drill. In presenting this little work the compiler hopes that It may meet with the approval of those interested in the mstruction of In- fantry Drill. t 1st DR 8. ( n 14.
