Excerpt from Official History of the Operations of the First Colorado Infantry, U. S. V: In the Campaign in the Philippine Islands
The men all underwent a rigid examination by officers detailed from the regu lar service. The medical Officers Of the regiment also assisted in this work and it took what was considered a good healthy man and a man properly built to Obtain his enlistment. Plenty of recruits were turned away as unsatisfactory and even members Of the National Guard who had served in State campaigns received such close scrutiny that a few of them failed to pass. The result of this care by the examiners was that Colorado sent out a regiment perhaps the healthiest in the field and whose losses by disease did not nearly equal those Of other regiments in the same branch of the campaign.
