Re: Rear Rank One in Stacking Arms
No real bearing on the war period but of interest (at least to me) - The 1873 version of Upton's adds a command "lay on loose pieces" at which point the front no. 2 takes the piece from the rear no. 1 like many reenactor units do. At take arms the front no. 2 also passes the piece back but there's no additional command.
