Remembered Today:

Company orders - Position in the line

Hi,
Excuse me if this is a basic question, but I can't find a ready answer.
If a document describes attacking British 'A, B, C Coys in the front line from right to left' it sounds like they are ranged CBA from the offensive point of view. Am I misunderstanding this?
Thanks,

There is a tradition of the right of the line having seniority so you are correct, standing behind them and looking across to the enemy you would see C Company on the left in your example.
