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

The current official profile supplies only April 1865, so the archive preserves month precision rather than inventing an exact day. The Army Culloden profile is distinct from the Navy recipients of the same name.
