Earlier I posted about Leonidas and Robert McBride. I gained access to FOLD3 and found this for Robert A. McBryde/McBride. Please help with what this means.
He appointed Hospital Steward, Co. A, 26th Arkansas Vols.
Then is states: Appointed, A. & I. G.O
S.O. 285/8
Dec 1, 1864
What does the A and I and S and O stand for? As well as the meaning of 285/8?
