Private William C. Witzig (November 17, 1903). Physically unsuited by reason of Cardiac Irritability.
Private Philip S. Myer (December 11, 1903). Physically unsuited by reason of very high grade of Myopia both eyes.
Private first class Charles P. Davis (January 14, 1904). Physically unsuited by reason of Acute Melancholia.
Private Barnard Bates (February 12, 1904). Morally and mentally unsuited by reason of Drunkenness.
In all these men, except Private Davis, the condition for which they were transferred was present when they reported for duty with the detachment.
In the case of Private Davis, his condition of acute melancholia in my opinion was incident to the experiment,—due to the necessary restrictions of liberty and food, assisted by a natural gloomy disposition.
The following men were lost by desertion:
Private first class Samuel R. Curtis (November 3, 1903).
Private first class William Smith (November 5, 1903).
Private Simon Prins (January 23, 1904).
