The wills of persons employed in armies in the field in a military expedition may be received by a commissioned officer in the presence of two witnesses. If the testator is sick or wounded, they may be received by the physician or surgeon attending him assisted by two witnesses, subject to no other formalities than being reduced to writing and signed by the testator if he can write, by the persons receiving them and by the witnesses. Such testament shall be null in six months after the return of the testator to the place where he has opportunity to employ ordinary forms. Louisiana, Merrick's Rev.
