Ive read somewhere that the soldier probably had to ask for a diploma (and pay for???)
therefore diplomas tended to be given out where the soldier would derive benefit from having it.
ie if he retired in the local area, then he probably wouldnt need a diploma since everyone would know his legal status
if however he moved to another part of the world, the diploma would be the evidence he may need of his status
