A Manual of Service for the Fifth Brigade, National Guard of Pennsylvania (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Manual of Service for the Fifth Brigade, National Guard of Pennsylvania

These few pages have been prepared to partially meet a want experienced by every new I fficer and soldier, and by many old on s, viz: that of having a ready reference book of the customs of the service, which will indicate in general the duties of each, and what should be done on particular occasions. These in active service can be learned by observation, but in the National Guard ser vice there is not this opportunity, and the willingness always manifested by the individuals of my. Commands (the old 2otb and 7th Divisions and the present 5th Brig ade) to avail themselves of every means of instruction, leads me to believe that my efi'orts to assist them will not be without good results.
