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

The current reference profile resolves the award but renders the name Augustus J Robbins. The inherited row and official U.S. Army roll identify Augustus I. Robbins with matching rank, unit, date, place, and citation. The canonical identity retains I; the Society heading and URL are preserved as source evidence; no identity merge or General Order verification is claimed.
