Left, right, by the right - Quick March....!
I didn't know such a thing existed, in spite of being left sided (not only hands, but everything else!).
Certainly I recall being "disciplined" at school for this feature, hands being belted (only the left one) so you COULDN'T use it for anything, which simply made one illiterate, because the right hand was good for nothing - same as the right foot and leg - just for balance!
Even on Sunday's, they taught "at the right hand of God" etc.....I often wondered who sat on his left hand, or if there was a spare place!
Strange how they chose the 13th day of the month for this event, and were probably upset that it wasn't a Friday!
Somehow left handers are always suspected of all sorts of thing, particularly sinister stuff (see below), when in fact we tend to be far above average intelligence...!
They've even found out that around 13% of the World's population is left handed, but then - it's all studied by right handers, us left handers have more important things to do!
Certainly I have trouble cutting my toe nails, using scissors, opening wine bottles (but I succeed) amongst many other "normal" things in life, because all the implements are made by right handers!
I've included a few links on the subject, and the address for your contributions to the "iwmpop-mrlemarquis aid for left handed Scotsment living in Vauvert, France appeal" is to be found at the top of this Site. Do be generous....!

This Italien thing doesn't mean too much, because as the English tourist with the scalded right hand told me:
"Well - the bloody tap was marked "caldo" wasn't it...Bloody Eyties!"
Remember this sinister "right hand of God?"
Seems to be it was the left hand - more correctly - "sinistre"......!
