---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-11-03 10:41:19 If original transcriber sees this: the clerk entering this has a 'tail' on their e when at the end of a word like "the" , it is not an 'o'. In addition, a cursive Q looks like a 2 when you see A.2.M. it's A.Q.M. (quartermaster) ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-11-03 21:36:18
