These recruits come from 3 places: Minsk (and villages), Sloboda Komarovka and Gorodok.

One thing to note, not everyone listed here necessarily served in the army. This was an initial list of people eligible to serve in the army. This list was compiled by government's request. However since some of these individuals were ill, missing or unavailable for other reasons, trustees were elected from each community with the purpose of finding missing recruits and keep them together under observation until the time they were to be handed to authorities. Such elected trustees from Minsk were Tsod Gastovskiy, Khaim Romanov, Faitel Morgenshtern and Faibish Mordukhovich Kharlip. Trustees from Gorodok these were Evel Geselovich Khatsanov Simonovich Mitlitskiy and Leib-Mordukh Lipkovich. Trustees from From Samokhvalovichi were Zelman Meerovich Tov and Yuda Movshovich Vysokiy. In the meantime funds were collected from community to pay for upkeeping these recruits. Additionally there were 308 community members who signed their names in this document.
