Every enlisted Soldier receives an individual Service Record. It is not an ornament or calling card; it is the continuing record of your service in the Regiment.

Quartermaster Department
Your Arms Have a History Too.
Springfield Model 1861Sharpe's CarbineRevolver
When an arm is issued, the Quartermaster records it against your Service Record. Battlefield use affects its condition. Fouling, inspections, cleaning, maintenance, and return history can all follow the weapon. Carry it, maintain it, and return it as Company property.
Would You Have a Record of Your Own?
Enlist with the 17th and Headquarters will enter your name upon the rolls, issue your Soldier Number, and open your private personnel jacket.
