Born at Mitilen Island, Greece
Note that there
are two different spellings for his last name in the file.
It appears as “Angilos” and “Anglos”. On the documents that contain a signature, it
appears that even he has spelled it both ways. On
his Attestation Papers he signed with the “i”, but on his Proceedings on
Discharge document, he signed without the “i”.
For the purposes of this summary, I have chosen to use the “Angilos”
spelling.
