The task of checking that the tops of all the tents were in a perfect straight line was fraught with difficulties. Here we see that the soldier's head is not high enough, and his eyes are not looking in the right direction.

Why the officer, on his horse, could not do the job is a mystery which may never be solved.

Checking Tent Alignment must be considered "work" or the Officers would not require the NCO's do it!
