SALUTING OF OFFICERS.
Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and men will salute all Commissioned Officers whom they know to be such, whether dressed in uniform or not, including Officers of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Indian marine when in Uniform, Special Reserve of Officers, Militia, Honourable Artillery Company, Yeomanry, volunteers and Territorial Force, and such Warrant officers of the Royal Navy as have rank corresponding to that of the Commissioned Officer in the Army.
The salute, except when swords are worn, will always be with the hand further from the person saluted. When a Soldier passes an Officer he will salute on the third pace before reaching him, and will lower the hand on the third pace after passing him; when swords are worn the salute will be with the right hand.
A Soldier, if sitting when an Officer approaches, will rise, stand at attention, and salute; if a number of men are sitting or standing about, the senior Non-Commissioned Officer or oldest Soldier will call the whole to "attention," and salute. When a Soldier addresses an Officer he will halt two paces from him and salute. he will also salute when withdrawing. When appearing before an officer in a room, he will salute without removing his cap.
A Soldier without his cap, or who is carrying anything that prevents him from saluting properly, will, if standing still, come to attention as an Officer passes; if walking, he will turn his head slightly towards the Officer in passing him.

SECOND LIEUT. LIEUTENANT. CAPTAIN. MAJOR. LIEUT-COLONEL. COLONEL. BRIGADIER-GENERAL. MAJOR GENERAL. LIEUT. GENERAL. GENERAL. FIELD-MARSHAL.
