On ceremonial parades march pasts are done in both quick and double time, the latter 180 paces to the minute. There were no lance-corporals in the Rifle Brigade. A man paid as a lance-corporal wore the two stripes of a corporal and was addressed as such. In addition, Rifle Brigade warrant officers and non-commissioned officers wore rank badges only on the right arm so that a man's rank could not easily be seen by the enemy. Camouflaged modern combat dress was anticipated by the wearing of buckskins in North America, the green jacket and black leather in Spain and, later, black buttons.
Cloth rank badges and all leather equipment, boots, belts scabbards, et cetera are black.
The SA 80 is kept in the 'shoulder'for'at ease'and is held across the body for'stand easy'. They no longer use the 'carry'. Officers, warrant officers and sergeants wore black leather cross belts over the left shoulder. Whistle lanyards are worn on the right shoulder for left hand use of the whistle. The old Rifle Regiments have a noteworthy informality based on long tradition.
