Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current authoritative source expands, corrects, or normalizes the inherited name from Bernard Mccarren to Bernard McCarren; both renderings remain preserved. The current profile records later/highest rank Corporal. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
