หมายเหตุ

"This microfilm publication reproduces an alphabetical card index to the compiled service records of volunteer Union soldiers who served in the Veteran Reserve Corps."--Introd.

"The Veteran Reserve Corps was composed of deserving officers and enlisted men who were unfit for active field service because of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty, but who were still capable of performing garrison duty. The Corps also included officers and enlisted men borne on the Army rolls who were absent from duty and in hospitals, in convalescent camps, or otherwise under the control of medical officers, but who were capable of serving as cooks, nurses, clerks, or orderlies at hospitals and as guards for hospitals or other public buildings. When the Corps was first authorized on April 28, 1863, it was known as the 'Invalid Corps.' Its name was changed to the Veteran Reserve Corps on March 18, 1864"--Introd.
