            I have a copy of what used to be on RDFRA and will put it up here. Other than that, there is the manual of footdrill.

                  There are some errors in that list. Most are gramatical but one or two are incorrect, such as the correct order for "mark time" as per the manual of footdrill.

                  If anyone would care to correct me please provide a reference to the relevant amendment to the said manual. Stories about new manuals still in the pipline don't count.

                    The man makes a valid point, all the same. Although Greadaigh Fúibh seems
                    prevalent, it doesn't exist in the manual. And as the old saying goes, RTFM....

                      I have heard tell, but cannot confirm, that there was a training instruction or amendment to the manual on this a long time ago.

                        There is an Irish/English dictionary of military terms going about. Library in the Curragh or any BTC may have one.

                          I found several copies in the official publications section of the Ussher (I think) library in TCD.

                              Facts are meaningless - you could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
