Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile comparison is documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current official profile expands the middle name and documents only December 1862. The initialed legacy form remains an alias; Private is retained as rank at action, distinct from the later brevet rank.
