US, Alabama—Naturalization Records, 1875–1959
I have not seen this one before. There is an Oath of Renunciation and Allegiance beneath the Affidavit of Witnesses. Does this get a separate entry? I tried to look forward to see if there was an Oath of Allegiance but it was the last image in the batch so that was not helpful. I also looked at the batch images and that was not of any use either, so I am hoping that some can help me. I have saved it in my que, but this is the short version of it.
This is about the batch

It is an Oath of Allegiance. But, you wouldn't create another entry since it is on the same document (image) as the petition. When the researcher finds the image, they will see the petition and oath of renunciation and allegiance.
This form is a little different because is says it was "Filed under Section 701 of the Nationality Act of 1940". This was for non-citizens who served honorably in the US Armed Forces during WWII. 701 exempted some servicemen from having the usual naturalization requirements, like a period of residence in the US and literacy in English. This Private made his petition in 1943 and his witnesses were a Captain and Sergeant at the 313th Station Hospital at Fort Rucker. He did enter the US in 1927.
These forms are always interesting and enlightening. Thanks for sharing the batch!

@Melissa S Himes I didn't think it did but just wanted to make sure.
