Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 Society candidate was confirmed by substantive comparison of identity, service, rank, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The exact rendered source heading “Harry C Beasley” is preserved separately from the canonical display form “Harry C. Beasley”. The current profile records USS Florida; the inherited unit field Not documented remains preserved as a source variant. The previously unnormalized action date is controlled as 1914-04-21 from the current authoritative profile. The controlled historical action place is Vera Cruz, Mexico; the complete inherited geocoder value Heroica Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico remains preserved in the audit evidence. The current authoritative profile classifies the action under Mexican Campaign (Vera Cruz); the inherited unclassified value remains preserved in the audit record. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
