| Formations of the British infantry in combat ...
When in skirmisher, the soldiers are lying, kneeling or standing, as they see fit ?
When on line, The first rank is kneeling ?
A Gingindhlovo, they are two ranks and the first rank is kneeling ?
The two ranks shoot together ?
When a square as in Ulundi, it is about four ranks and the first two ranks, are on their knees ?
On four ranks, how to perform the shooting ranks by ranks ? Starting with the first ? Or some ranks do not shoot ?
Cheers
