Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 Society candidate was confirmed by substantive comparison of identity, service, rank, unit or command, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current authoritative source expands or normalizes the inherited name from Andrew P. Forbeck to Andrew Peter Forbeck; both renderings remain preserved. The controlled canonical unit or command is U.S.S. Pampanga; the current structured profile renders U.S.S. Pampanga, and the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The current authoritative evidence controls the action date as 1900-07-16 and classifies the action under Philippine Insurrection; the inherited unnormalized date and conflict values remain preserved in the audit record. The controlled historical action place is Katbalogan, Samar, Philippine Islands; the current structured place Katbalogan, Samar, Philippine Islands and the complete inherited geocoder value Leyte, Philippines remain preserved in the audit evidence. The inherited full citation remains canonical and checksum-protected; current rendered wording is preserved separately where transcribed. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
