Witness Jo Kerrod         John  X  Bosworth his mark

I do hereby certify that the Cause which has rendered it necessary to discharge the within-mentioned  Sergt John Bosworth as stated on the opposite side, has not arisen from Vice or Misconduct, and that he is not to my Knowledge incapacitated by the Sentence of a General Court-Martial from receiving his Pension.

N.B. When a Soldier has lost an Eye or a Limb, or has been wounded or disabled in the Service, the Discharge must particularly express the Cause from whence proceeding, as when, where, and how it took place. Should any mark remain in consequence, it is to be noticed in the Man's description; the Surgeon or Assistant Surgeon in his Absence, will sign his name in the Margin, opposite the cause assigned for the Discharge being granted, which will be considered as his Certificate of the Man being unfit for further Service, and he will also countersign the Commanding Officer's Certificate above. The Period of Service in the body of the Discharge is to be filled up in Words at length, and not in figures. Service prior to the age of Eighteen is not to be included in the Statement.
