Other confrontations mentioned on the forms include the Walker War, Navajo raids, Shosone war, Paiute raids, Tintic skirmishes, etc. If being completed by next of kin, there was a blank for the applicant to state his or her relationship to the veteran. The statement was witnessed by a notary and attested to by two individuals with personal knowledge of the applicant's service. The signature of the commander stating that the individual was entitled to a medal might also be included. The back of the form gives the date received, date approved, and the signatures of the governor and secretary of state.
Correspondence is scattered amidst the forms and clustered at the end of the series.
Correspondence includes requests for forms, manufacturing orders, inquiries regarding delays, requests from veteran reunion groups, requests for receipts and the receipts themselves, thank you notes, etc. Correspondence as late as 1940 is noted where applicants were responding to 1939 advertisements listing unclaimed medals. The medal could be presented to the veteran, or if deceased, to his nearest relative. If the medal was claimed, a signed statement acknowleging receipt of the medal by the applicant is usually attached to the application form. A few unclaimed medals remain in the series.
