Dr. McFall served as an Assistant Surgeon, and as Surgeon, with the 26th Texas Cavalry. the reference under "company" is "F & S" for "Field and Staff." Meaning he was one of the field and staff officers of the regiment rather than part of one of the companies.

Colonel Debray, the regimental commander of the 26th Texas Cavalry, wrote a unit history after the war, available online here.
