GENERAL ORDER.
Hone Guards, 1859.
It appearing from the reports made to the General command-
ing.in-chief, that the practice of light infantry movements has bean
much neglected in sonic regiments of the line, the Adjutant-Ge-
neral has received his Lordship's orders to direct the notice of tis
Inspecting General Officers to this subject, and to desire that they
will call the attention of Officers in command of regiments and re-
serve companies, to the Importance which is attached to the in
struction of every regiment of infantry in the service in the move•
meats and duties of light infantry.
His Majesty's regulations have at all times prescribed it ; and
Commanding Olken of regiment. are much mistaken, if they
conceive that the practice, so prescribed is to be confined to light
regiments, or to the light companies of other corr.' The object in
view is, that the whole of every regiment should be made as perfect
as possible in the evolutions and movements of light infantry, and
should be qualified to move as such if required, and to take the
out-post duty in any situation of service.
The Officers have ample time to make themselves acquainted with.
every detail of this service, independently of the informatiou" they
must possess of line movements ; and it is unnecessary to dvfell
upon the mendsl advantage which they will derive from a com-
petent knowledge of duties which they may, in the absence of light
troops, be called upon to perform In the held.
Lord Hill therefore directs, that the exercise of the whole corps
in extended order, as light infantry, may, in future, form one of '
the objects of the half-yearly in.pec ion and report to be mad, of
every regiment.
By command of the Right Honourable
The General Connanollog.in-Chief,
HER BERT TAYLOR, Adjutant-General.
