Jun 15, 1891

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.
