Re: Interesting question - kneeling while captured

Out of the countless period photographs, I cannot recall aby of prisoners kneeling, even in an execution setting. Captured prisoners are always on their feet or sitting normal with their legs crossed. Now, in regards to the left handed shooting. I know that in the interest of uniformity in formation...
