Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current reference profile confirms the inherited identity, unit, date, and citation; it normalizes the action rank punctuation, identifies Missionary Ridge rather than the inherited expanded geocoder form, and records Lieutenant General as the highest rank.
