Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The canonical reference profile was recovered through a controlled archival reference search outside the inherited candidate set and then confirmed by substantive comparison of identity, service, rank, unit or command, action context, and citation; successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current authoritative source expands or normalizes the inherited name from Frederick Franklin to Frederick H. Franklin; both renderings remain preserved. The exact current profile heading is Frederick H Franklin; the controlled display name is Frederick H. Franklin, and both forms remain preserved. The controlled canonical unit or command is Ship's Company D, U.S.S. Colorado; the current structured profile renders Ship's Company D, U.S.S. Colorado, and the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The current authoritative evidence controls the action date as 1871-06-11 and classifies the action under Korean Campaign 1871; the inherited unnormalized date and conflict values remain preserved in the audit record. The controlled historical action place is Korean Forts, Korea; the current structured place Korean Forts, Korea and the complete inherited geocoder value South Korea remain preserved in the audit evidence. The inherited full citation remains canonical and checksum-protected; current rendered wording is preserved separately where transcribed. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
