I meant more the gesture/posture of the guy with the spear, is that normal?
He doffed his hat and extended it in salute. The spear is held out as part of that.
Is that normal? I cant find anything that shows that is a normal way to salute in the US military.
I’m not entirely sure if it’s normal or not as I’m not familiar enough with late 18th century military etiquette or protocol.
