Separately preserved current-source wording

Captured from the linked current recipient source; it is not a new comparison with an original General Order.

Voluntarily carried a box of ammunition across an open space swept by the enemy's fire to the relief of an outpost whose ammunition had become almost exhausted, but which was thus enabled to hold its important position.

Sources & record notes

General Order comparison: pending. Current-profile review does not mean that the underlying original order has been examined.
