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 Edwin M. Neville to Edwin Michael Neville; both renderings remain preserved. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved. The rendered Society citation reads “Capture of flag,” while the inherited citation reads “Capture of flag.”; both texts and checksums remain preserved without replacement.
