I get the impression that in modern times riding is not very popular among boys and young men, but still very popular among girls and young women. I moved to Surrey from the West Country 3 years ago, and in trying to find somewhere that would sell a waxed jacket I found that the few shops selling country outdoor clothing were oriented almost exclusively towards young female riders.

Sorry, but my military training tells me that this young Captain got it wrong. That troop of soldiers were in the "ADVANCED POSITION", therefore the orders should have been "THE FILE WILL MOVE TO THE LEFT - LEFT TURN - FORWARD MARCH - LEFT WHEEL. First command = indication of movement, second command = execution of order/movement,- third command - forward march, followed by directional movement. I was taught by a Grenadier Guards Company Sergeant Major Drill Instructor, and God himself could not have protected me if I got it wrong.
