Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current reference profile identifies the recipient as George McKee; the inherited George Mckee rendering remains preserved. The rendered Society structured unit appears as “CompanyD, 89th New York Infantry”; that exact source typo is preserved separately while the controlled canonical unit uses “Company D.”
