 Incline.—Extend your arm in line with your shoulder and make a turn in the required direction with your body, bringing the arm with it.

Wheel.—Extend your arm as above and make a circular movement in the required direction, the arm to finish the signal by pointing in the required direction. When troops are in column this signal will mean “change direction.”

Lie Down.—Two or three movements of the open hand towards the ground, palm down, back of hand uppermost.

Extend.—From the centre: Arm raised to full extent over the head and waved a few times slowly from side to side, the hand to be open and to come down as low as the hips on both sides of the body.

To the right: Wave as above and finish by pointing to the right.

To the left: Wave as above and finish by pointing to the left.

The number of paces to which you will extend will be communicated to the nearest men by word of mouth and passed on by them to one another when in the field.

Close.—On the centre: Hand placed on the head, back of hand uppermost, elbow square to the right or left according to which hand is used.

On the right: As above and finish by pointing to the right.

On the left: As above and finish by pointing to the left.

Reinforce.—Arm swung from rear to front above the shoulder. (Reverse of advance.)
