Separately preserved current-source wording

Captured from the linked current recipient source; it is not a new comparison with an original General Order.

At the risk of his life, voluntarily went to the assistance of a wounded officer lying close to the enemy's lines and, under fire, carried him to a place of safety.

Sources & record notes

General Order comparison: pending. Current-profile review does not mean that the underlying original order has been examined.

Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current reference profile confirms the identity and award, adds Company B and the action rank, and replaces a modern road geocoder result with Deep Bottom. The profile spells Battalion as Battlion; the canonical unit uses the corrected spelling while the exact official rendering is preserved separately. The current citation corrects the inherited OCR token Iying to lying, adds a comma after under fire, and normalizes close-range wording.
