In this march past the brigadier will give the executive word to move off, i.e., BRIGADE, BY THE—, QUICK—MARCH.
3. Supply column, field hospital and bearer company will not march past in mass or line of quarter columns.
4. Brigadiers, staffs &c.—When a brigade marches past an inspecting officer superior to the brigadier, the latter officer (accompanied by his aide-de-camp or orderly officer) will fall out after saluting, and will place himself on the right of the inspecting officer.
The brigadier will be twenty paces in front of the mounted officers of the leading battalion, or in line of quarter columns in front of the centre of the brigade, preceded at a distance of ten paces by his staff, who will be in line; ten paces apart, the brigade major next the saluting base.
5. Drums and bands, &c.—Before marching past, the massed drums and bands will move to the head of the brigade.
When marching past in column, or in column of double companies, the massed drums and bands preceding the brigade staff will, on arriving in front of the saluting point, form opposite to it, and play till the rear of the brigade has passed. They must be moved off at such a distance in front of the brigade staff as will allow of their clearing the front when opposite the saluting point, without checking the mounted officers following them.
When marching past in mass, the massed drums and bands will advance on the outer flank of the mass parallel with the leading company, halting opposite the saluting point; they will play the mass past, and move on again opposite the centre of the rear battalion. The wagons and machine guns will be massed twenty paces in rear of the rear battalion, machine guns nearer the saluting base. Mules, cyclists, and stretcher bearers will not be massed.
When marching past in line of quarter columns, the massed drums and bands will be in front of the centre of the brigade, preceding the brigade staff by ten paces. In marching past in this formation, drums and bands will move straight on, the bands ceasing to play when the rear of the brigade has passed the saluting point. The machine guns will be massed twenty paces in rear of the battalion nearest the saluting base. Wagons, mules, cyclist and stretcher bearers will not be massed.
195. A brigade advancing in review order.
If required to advance in review order by the inspecting officer, battalions may be formed in line of quarter columns at any interval, arms at the Slope, and the officers and Colours in front, as described in S. 193 (2).
