In Fort Rinella. Kalkara, Malta, every day, they put on a show of infantry drill. Here we see them perform a drill in late Victorian British uniforms. Slapping the rifle and stamping hard were not introduced until later. The pace rates were changed as well. The modern army uses typically 140 paces a minute and a 30" stride length.
