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, unit or command, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. Documented aliases remain attached to this stable recipient identity: Phillips, Franklin J., Franklin J. Phillips. No identity merge or split was performed. The current profile also supplies the separately retained rank, identity, or service-history rendering Legal name documented by the Society as Franklin J. Phillips; it is not collapsed into the controlled action rank or canonical identity. The controlled canonical unit or command is Not documented; the current structured profile renders Not documented, and the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The current authoritative evidence controls the action date as 1900-06-20 through 1900-07-16 and classifies the action under China Relief Expedition; the inherited unnormalized date and conflict values remain preserved in the audit record. The controlled historical action place is Peking, China; the current structured place Peking, China and the complete inherited geocoder value Beijing, Beijing, China remain preserved in the audit evidence. The Society structured action date is 1900-06-20; additional or conflicting date context in the rendered citation is preserved separately. 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.
