I CERTIFY ON HONOR, That I have carefully examined the above named Recruit, agreeably to the General Regulations of the Army and that in my opinion he is free from all bodily defects and mental infirmity, which would, in any way, disqualify him from performing the duties of a soldier.

Examining Surgeon

I CERTIFY ON HONOR, That I have inspected the Recruit, previously to his enlistment, and that he was entirely sober when enlisted; that, to the best of my judgment and belief, he is of lawful age; and that, in accepting him as duly qualified to perform the duties of an able bodied soldier, I have strictly observed the Regulations which govern the recruiting service. This soldier has blue eyes, brown hair, fair complexion, is 5 ft 10 inches high.
