Preface
THE "Duties of Guards and Sentinels," first published in 1884, passed through two editions. The present Manual is a third edition of the same work, the title being changed to conform to its official designation.
Some alterations have been made in the original text, and considerable new matter has been added.
The compiler is indebted to many officers for criticisms and suggestions which have materially increased the value of the work. While grateful to all of these, his thanks are especially due to Captain Charles King, U. S. Army, Lieutenant-Colonel Robert H. Hall, 6th Infantry, and the officers composing the "Tactical Board." Most of what is new in the work was adopted at the suggestion of this Board.
The formal approval of the Manual by the War Department, it is hoped, will establish a uniform practice in the performance of guard duty throughout the Army and the National Guard ; for this object the Manual was originally prepared.
October 11, 1889.
