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

The reference profile combines Bull Run and Gettysburg but exposes only July 2, 1863 in its structured date field. The official U.S. Army roll documents August 30, 1862 at Bull Run and July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg. Both action dates and places are retained canonically while the Society field remains preserved as evidence.
