I don't know how you can enlist in may 1862 and be present in July/August 1861..... I checked the dates. As Mr. Robert Krick would probably tell you, "Caveat Emptor".

I encourage you to examine these records (and all records for that matter). See:

By the way:
AWOL= absent without leave
WIA= wounded in action
GH= general hospital
OOA= oath of allegiance
