Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current profile adds the Sr suffix, preserves Colonel as the action rank and Major General U.S.A. as the highest/later rank, and replaces the inherited rail-station geocoder result with Rio Grande de la Pampanga. The canonical profile was resolved through archival reference search outside the inherited candidate set.
