99 (Adjutant General's Office Form, 1864-65 issue). 8.5 x 11 in. Features original Oath of Identity section and official Pension Office stamp.

These discharge certificates were issued to Union volunteers upon completion of their service. This document represents the formal end of duty for a soldier of the victorious Union Army. The "Paid May 24, 1865" note places it just weeks after General Lee's surrender at Appomattox - a powerful piece of American history. Perfect for collectors of Civil War documents, Union memorabilia, or those researching veteran pension archives.
