Clause 8

The Army Board may for all purposes be described by that name.

The Army Board shall have an official seal, which shall be officially and judicially noticed, and that seal shall be authenticated by the signature of the Chairman of the Army Board, or of a secretary, or of some person authorised by the Army Board to act on behalf of a secretary.

Every document purporting to be an instrument issued by the Army Board, and to be sealed with the seal of the Board, authenticated in the manner provided by this Act, or to be signed by a secretary or any person authorised by the Army Board to act on behalf of a secretary, shall be received in evidence, and be deemed to be such an instrument without further proof, unless the contrary is shown.

A certificate signed by the Chairman of the Army Board that any instrument purporting to be made or issued by the Army Board was so made or issued shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.
