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

The inherited Ernst Torgler URLs were stale. Controlled Society search recovered a current profile headed Ernest R Torgler. The official Army roll retains Ernst Torgler, matching the inherited identity and all action metadata. The canonical identity preserves Ernst with the Society’s R initial; the Society Ernest rendering, current URL, official Army rendering, citation, provenance, and checksums remain parallel evidence.
