    Great tutorial! Thank you for creating a visual tool to execute this maneuver, Will.

    Have always wondered about reverse arms

      I did for a long time too. The Regs are honestly less than helpful. Will

    Nice tutorial--I came across this in Sarah Edmonds' account of her time as "Nurse and Spy" in the Civil War and wondered what it meant.

      It is a fantastic account. Most of our team volunteer or have volunteered at the fort where she entered service in Detroit.

    I'd seen this in a period photo with a squad of four around a contraband man wearing a sign which read "thief," but never knew the name of the arms position.
    It appeared the section was at rest with each man's hips turned and the right foot retracted. It also seems bayonets were fixed.

    Shouldn’t parade rest be the barrel of the piece in the hollow of the right shoulder hands together in the center of the body left over right with the backs to the front as well as the right foot to the rear about 6 inches ?

      Excellent question and you accurately describe the "Parade rest" as specified by the Regulations. There are two and the one we show is common to Hardee's, Casey's and the US Infantry Tactics. Both work - it would be the choice of the commanding officer, as best we can tell.

      Civil War Digital Digest sorry how I worded that did not mean for it to sound rude. Thank you for answering that I’ve been trying to figure that out

    • @CivilWarDigitalDigest
      @CivilWarDigitalDigest  6 років тому +1

      Not rude at all. It's a great question. We only have so much time to keep episodes interesting. We got to handle a side note here. Good discussion!

      What you described sounds like it comes from Gilham's manual.

    • @CivilWarDigitalDigest

      Which part? The parade rest here or reverse arms?

    Have spent the last five minutes "reversing arms" with a broomstick.

      I've been out of the hobby for many years and most of my gear is long gone ( life happens), but I might practice this with my old .50 caliber Indian trade rifle.

    So would this be appropriate when taps is played

    • @CivilWarDigitalDigest
      @CivilWarDigitalDigest  6 років тому +1

      Taps, when used in a modern funeral understanding, works more with Rest on Arms - which will come along in a month or two. This would be used to get to and from the place of ceremony.

    • @CivilWarDigitalDigest
      @CivilWarDigitalDigest  6 років тому +2

      The Civil War era military funeral is laid out in the Regs. Taps is not part of it.

    Very cool video. As a new subscriber to this channel, I look forward to more informative videos like this. Thank you.
    Sorry if this has been asked before, but what is the building in the background?

    • @CivilWarDigitalDigest
      @CivilWarDigitalDigest  6 років тому +1

      Original 1840s limestone barracks at Historic Fort Wayne, Detroit Michigan.

    Isn’t this British Commonwealth drill to reverse arms.
