The order of arrangement of the facts of service in each individual record given is the same, as nearly as pos- sible, as the original entries, and is as follows : The name ; the place of residence, if given ; the rank ; the kind of document whereon the record appears ; 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.

As the same name may apjiear 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 liecord Index.
