Altho born William Anthis, he said Bill Anthis at the Army induction center, and figured it would be easier to change his name than get the Army to correct something.
My brother, Calvin, went through his entire stint in the service as "Clavin".

My poor uncle, killed in action, was John Wesley Theodore Roosevelt Keaton. His body came back as "Wesley John Keaton".

Yeah, the Army knows what it's doing!
