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

The current reference profile renders Company L. The current Army citation index and National Park Service official Gettysburg report identify Company I; canonical metadata follows the two independently corroborating official sources while the Society Company L field remains preserved as a conflicting current-source rendering.
