Good day all,
As the Adjt of a Cavalry Regiment, I'm seeking some clarification on a ceremonial question, namely the sword lanyard.
It's been brought to my attention that calvary officers should wrap the laynard around their wrist vice braiding it around the hilt (or leaving it loose to smack you in the eye when you salute) or some such thing. To be honest in my 20+ years in, I've never even heard of this practice, but learning is a life-long process!
Can anyone please post what they know (with reference)?
Tanks!
