I found a document Army Form B 59 - Army Reserve (Special
Reservists). Grandad Johnny signed his name on the document, however I found
the wording of his 'Oath to be taken by recruit on Astestation' most
interesting.
"I John Anderson swear by Almighty God that I will be
faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King George Fifth, His Heirs
and Successors and that I will as in duty bound, honesty and faithfully defend
His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors in Person, Crown and Dignity, against all
enemies and will observe and obey all orders of His Majesty, His Heirs and
Successors and of the Generals and Officers not over me. So help me God'.
