Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application.

Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.

The minor's name was frequently that of the guardian rather than the minor.
      The military unit was frequently the Company Letter, the Regiment Number, sometimes US Vet Vol Inf. (US Veteran Volunteer Infantry), L.A. (Light Artillery), H.A.
