Military records when transferred to another regment

The National Park Service database shows Wm. Ham in the 164th NY Inf and the 11th VRC.I would think the national archives would see him separately too unless you marked your first application with both unit designations.Once he was wounded, the 164th left him behind and probably never knew what happened to him.They would have moved on and the hospital records would have maintained his military status....If he was too disabled to return to his unit and pick up his status there he would have been transferred without notifying the 164th.I would suggest putting in a second application with the 2nd unit being designated... that should fill out his military record.
