are given exactly as they appear on the original records. The order of arrangement of the
facts of service in each individual record given is the same, as nearly as
possible, as the original entries, and is as follow.: The name; the place of residence, if
given; the rank; the kind of document whereon the record appear.; the enlistment and
discharge, if given; the time of service; remarks.
A discrepancy will sometimes be noted
between the service given and the actual service as figured between the dates of
enlistment and discharge. The difference Is accounted for by the practice of including,
with service performed, a time allowance for travel on the basis of one day for every 20
miles out or home. As the same name may appear under various forms each carrying some
portion of a record of service, it is necessary in order to obtain the complete record, as
far as preserved, of any given Individual, to examine all the forms under which a
name is stated to appear in the Record Index.
