Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The exact rendered source heading “Francis A Bishop” is preserved separately from the canonical display form “Francis A. Bishop.”. 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.
