I inserted it in the original post about M1903 #165,617, but it didn't get noticed, so I'll scan it again. Note the changed name. He enlisted under an assumed name. Rifle s/n is at the bottom of the page. He shot Marksman one year and Sharpshooter the next.

One thing I looked for in his records was to see if he served under any company-grade officers who later "made good" but I couldn't read most of their signatures.

Rick, you do know that Orwell was referring to police officers, don't you?

Let's try this image thing.

Image off.

Okay that works. Replace the squiggly brackets with square brackets to link in an image:

I thought you might be referring to the Militia (us).
