Remarks:_______________________________________________________________

1.  This statement of service is furnished under the provisions of the act of Congress approved 
    July 11, 1919.

2.  This statement is furnished primarily for historical and statistical purposes, although 
    it may be used in adjudication claims in which the State if solely concerned.  It is not
    to be used before a court of Justice or in support of any claim against the Federal 
    Government.  The law prohibits the furnishing of any information that may be used in the
    prosecution of a claim against the Government, except to the proper Government officials.

3.  Applications from individuals, other than historians and statisticians, for information 
    from this statement of service should be denied and the applicant directed to apply for 
    the information to The Adjutant General of the Army, who is the custodian of the official 
    records of the Armies of the Untied States.  Exceptions to this rule may be made in the
    case of officials of patriotic and philanthropic societies and associations when it is 
    known positively that the information is to be used exclusively by said society or association,
    and will not be made public nor communicated to any individual who may use it directly 
    or indirectly as a basis for, or in the prosecution of, a claim against the Government,
    or to the injury of the soldier.  

4.  Except as hereinbefore provided, all persons seeking information relative to the military 
    and medical histories of the soldier should be denied information from or access to, this 
    statement of service, as otherwise information legally unobtainable would be made available 
    to persons who might perpetrate fraud upon the Government, or who might seek to injure 
    the soldier.

5.  Except the data contained on the first four lines and that relating to battle causalities 
    and physical disability, this statement is prepared as far as practicable from the service
    record, and no effort has been made to compare the date obtained from the service record 
    with other records, except where an error or discrepancy is patent.  

6.  Some enlistment papers show age at enlistment, while others show date of birth.  The entries 
    recorded herein are in the same form as those on the enlistment paper.
