(Interestingly, the initials "A.W." do not appear
for the three  Tuckers listed for the 124th on the CWSSS.  There is a
Pvt., later  Cpl., Albert A. Tucker.  I've yet to check the
Adjutant-General's  Reports for further information.)

Mr. Fry:
 
Maybe New York had a problem with middle initials...  My  
great-great-grandfather served in the 62nd New York, & as a clerk in the  Provost-Marshall's 
office.  He's noted as both "Charles H. Travis" and  "Charles E. Travis" on 
various documents.  Family records list his middle  initial as "H" for "Henry" - 
which is what appears on most of the Federal  papers, such as pension documents, 
letter from Marsena Patrick, &c.   The initial "E", however, appears several 
times in the New York records.   (Actually, I think he's listed as both on the 
CWSSS.)
 
So "Albert W." could easily have become "Albert A."!
 
Warmest regards,
