Commence Firing - Military Drill Command Illustration #3769750 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white ink illustration depicts a standing soldier in uniform-complete with cap, tunic, trousers, and tall boots-extending his right arm horizontally to signal “Commence Firing.” The gesture includes motion lines and directional arrows, emphasizing action and command authority. The bold, handwritten text beneath reinforces the instructional nature of the image.

Commonly found in historical military training pamphlets, drill manuals, or educational resources on early 20th-century infantry tactics; used to teach visual command signals where verbal communication was impractical.
