The medical Officers Of the regiment also assisted in this work and it took what was considered a good healthy man and a man properly built to Obtain his enlistment. Plenty of recruits were turned away as unsatisfactory and even members Of the National Guard who had served in State campaigns received such close scrutiny that a few of them failed to pass.
