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 Claron A. Windus to Claron Windus; both renderings remain preserved. The current profile records later/highest rank Captain. The inherited rank-1 candidate retained the middle initial and did not resolve to the current profile; candidate rank 2 was verified as canonical through the exact service, unit, action date, place, and citation.
