Thayer's Note:

a In his AOG obituary (a brief notice taken from the Army and Navy Journal), his first name is spelled Allan; the Official Register of Officers and Cadets of the U. S. Military Academy, 1876‑1879, consistently spells Allen.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
