The second company of Light Infantry in the 18th Regiment of Militia in New Hampshire, formed in the town of Epsom, under the command of S.A. Heath, have volunteered their services to government.

NH Gazette 6-2-1812

Attention ye Brave !
CITIZENS AND PATRIOTS !
YOUR country having been insulted her rights most wantonly violated, her seamen plundered on the high seas, and ignominiously enslaved by the tyrants of the ocean, the government of the United States, after having exerted all amicable and pacisick means to redress the manifold wrongs, which for years have accumulated beyond further endurance, has determined to vindicate the dignity and honor of the republic in the field of battle, and calls on all the friends to its laws, independence and constitution to rally round the standard of liberty, prepared to nobly defend its dearest privileges or perish in the glorious attempt.
When the drubbing drum summons you to the field, and the trumpet of war sounds the charge to victory or death, each gallant spirit will rush to the standard of union and emulate the deeds of the heroes of the revolution. Like them every real American will contend for the honor of the battlefield. Inspired by the brilliant achievements of Bunker's heights, the plains of Saratoga, Monmouth and Yorktown, the glories of a military procession must rouse into valorous exertion the exalted faculties of the martial foul.
You are called upon to wage no predatory war for the personal ag__ndizement of a remorseless despot _ _ fight for your birth rights, __ and fortunes, your wives, __ and children.
Your country offers to every able __ between the age of 18 __, who nobly tenders his services, sixteen dollars bounty, on enlistment, five dollars a month, feeds and clothes you better than any troops on the globe, and after the expiration of the time for which you enlisted, presents you three months pay over your annual compensation, and an hundred and sixty acre of excellent land, on which you can settle, make a productive farm, and rear up a host of patriots to defend your country's rights and honor.
What a glorious opportunity is now presented you to acquire the never fading laurels of the soldier, reputation and fortune. With zeal then step forth as the impregnable ramparts of freedom and become enrolled among the gallant defenders of your country.
20 active young men may be enrolled for only 18 months; and will be entitled to all the above emoluments except the land.
All disposed to serve their country will do well to apply immediately at the rendezvous in Epsom or Dover.
