Official institutional sources disagree on a citation detail. The inherited canonical wording and the current Society wording are retained separately with supporting source records; no silent overwrite was performed.

Canonical unit follows the current reference profile (Company C, 10th Kentucky Infantry); the inherited Company B, 10th Kentucky Infantry rendering remains preserved. The current Society citation rendering and the inherited citation are retained separately with independent checksums; no silent citation replacement occurred. The U.S. Army citation index independently retains the inherited Company B assignment, which remains a documented official-source conflict.
