Scope and Content

Since 1923, Utah Code has provided that upon presentation, the county recorder shall record honorable discharges from the military, naval or marine service of the United States, and any orders, citations, and decorations of honor relating to a person while in the military service of the United States. County recorders' copies are considered evidence with the same effect as the original. (Utah Code, 17-21-14, 2000). Military discharges contain a wide range of personal information, as well as military service and discharge information. Most veterans brought their papers to be recorded soon after discharge. However, in some cases, years elapsed between the actual discharge and the date of recording. This is particularly true for World War I veterans whose discharges are prominent in this series during the 1950s.
