This is a British Army commission scroll appointing Cecil James Reynolds as a temporary Second Lieutenant in the Land Forces, dated January 9, 1915, during the reign of King George V.

The document bears the signature of King George V on the upper left. It is possible that this signature is stamped, although we have not seen an absolutely identical signature. 

It formally grants authority and reposes "especial Trust and Confidence" in the officer's "Loyalty Courage and good Conduct".

The appointment was made in the fifth year of King George V's reign.
