Why not say he "served as a private with the United States Army"? You
can word it anyway you like to make it read properly (I may have made a
slight modification to the event default, can't remember). If it is a
Civil War service, and I know the unit, I might record "served as a
sergeant with Company C, Third Louisiana Infantry Regiment, Confederate
Army". Other services and units have similar situations and same type of
wording can be used for any conflict.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Military Service event - description field
Hello LUG,
I looked through the Archives and scanned the tips but didn't see this
question asked before. I am running Windows ME and the older version 4
Feb 2005 build.
I am entering an individual's military service and trying to figure
out how to use the Desciption field so that it reads correctly in a
report. I suppose I can redefine the sentence globally, and I may just
do that, but I thought perhaps I'm not putting the correct item into
the field. I was placing rank and unit in Description, but then it
reads "He served in the Military Private US Army." Very awkward.
How do you use that field? Have you redefined your sentence structure
for the event?
Thank you,
Susan
