Applications are arranged alphabetically by veterans' surnames and include veteran's name; rank; military unit; service period; residence; birthplace; birth date or age; and if the claim was based on need, a listing of property owned. For widows and heirs, applications additionally include marriage date and place; veteran's death date and place. Supporting documentation such as witness affidavits; discharge papers; marriage and birth certificates are included. If two or more veterans had the same name, files were arranged further either by the veteran's state residence at the time he made the application; veteran's service; or the military unit in which the veteran served.
