Notes:
Notes:
1. Where there is a record of service in Confederate army, it will be presumed that service was voluntary, but such presumption may be rebutted.
2. Where service in Confederate army is shown by a claimant's record, the burden of proof is on him to show that such service was not voluntary.
3. Where the record shows that a claimant voluntarily engaged in the rebellion, his claim should be rejected.
4. A claimant who was conscripted into the Confederate army, and where from the record it appears that any service rendered was not voluntary, but wholly compulsory, he is excepted from the operation of section 4716, R. S.
5. The sufficiency of the evidence to rebut the presumption of voluntary service in the Confederate army must depend on the circumstances.
