[endorsed on back 'Diptford 17 men', though the return only totals 15 men if, as elsewhere, those charged to the horse and tinners are excluded from the assessment for the parish. The shortfall is presumably represented by the £101 headed 'Gone to horse']


[In the documents, the amounts recorded are arranged in groups normally adding up to £50 (or multiples of £50), and known as 'fifties', each responsible for providing one or more soldiers; in the transcript, the fifties are separated by grey bands; see Section 2 of the Commentary, The documents described.]
