Col could be Colorado, Cal could be California. Bks=Barracks or look in Iowa as that is where the family is living in 1885, Ida County. Iowa State Census. He could have enlisted from Iowa for Spanish American War 1898-99. If he stayed in the service after SpA and after 1913 then he might have been part of the U.S. Troops sent into in Mexico, between 1914-1917.
If you know when he died ahave you seen his Obituary? If not it might mention Military Srevice since it seems he might have had about 20 yrs in.
