1895

These two forms are permanently attached to each other. Both have information on the front and back. The large form is a "Muster Roll" for the "Regimental Band 1st Regiment Infantry National Guard, Montana". The smaller form appears to be authorization for payment of the annual appropriation of $300.00 for the band.

Dated May 30th 1895. The muster roll lists the names of 22 members of the band with their respective ranks and dates of enlistment. Of note on the reverse of the muster roll is the review of the band by C. F. Lloyd, Adjutant General. It reads:

"I certify on honor, that I have carefully examined the within muster roll; that I have mustered and minutely inspected the Regimental Band the condition of which is found to be as expressed in my remarks hereto annexed.

Discipline Good
Instruction Poor
Military Appearance Fair
Instruments Good
Accoutrements Good
Clothing Good "
