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

The reference profile expands the name, normalizes the action-rank wording, records Colonel as the highest rank, and restores “as” and the subject “McGonnigle” in the citation. The inherited abbreviated rank and complete citation remain preserved.
