Alvin Martin ANDERBURG [sic-Albin ANDERBERG],

ANDERBURG [sic- ANDERBERG], Alvin [sic- Albin] Martin, son of Martin A. and Mary ANDERBURG, was born in Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 22, 1893. His wife is Rhetta L. CLARK [sic - CLARKE] ANDERBURG.
He became a soldier Sept. 21, 1917, at Detroit, Mich. At Camp Custer, Mich., he was promoted to Corporal; then he was sent to Camp Greenleaf, Ga. At Camp Kearney, Calif., he was advanced to sergeant and attached to a federal ship building corporation as a member of Co. B, Tenth Battalion.

Additional information provided by Karen
ALBIN M. ANDERBERG married Rhetta LAURA CLARKE. (Rhetta was my grandfather's sister and lived with us at least twice during my childhood. We knew her well. My grandfather was Courtland Earl CLARKE, b. Sept. 1, 1899, Kokomo, Howard Co., IN. Everyone in the family added the final 'e' to their surname when they signed their names. Their tombstones all include the final 'e' as well.)
There is ample evidence that ALBIN and not ALVIN was his first given name. There is also ample evidence to show that your record has his last name spelled incorrectly as well; it should be ANDERBERG and not ANDERBURG.
Sources documenting his name:
