i think I've confused everybody with babbling about 'row soldiers'. I thought I cleared all when I PMed Alcarillo, Kath and Dunwen (who were most related with the thing), but it seems that there are also other people demanding for an explanation. 'Row soldier' just meant a common (foot) soldier. (It hasn't got anything to do with rowing, as Alca suggested.) English is not my mother tongue, so I may make more of these mistakes along the way, so please correct me
