Since prior research shows this man to be a conscript, the company designation would have to be one assigned for officers and men stationed at Camp Watts. Eventually many were collected and sent to Mobile as Mccroskey's Battalion. Officers were drill instructors assigned to Camp Watts. Since Camp Watts continued in operation, we should not assume that all officers and men went to Mobile with Captain McCroskey.
