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 current source documents the following alias or alternate identity form on the same controlled identity: Day, George Lawrence. The previously unnormalized action date is controlled as 1900-07-13 from the current authoritative profile. The controlled historical action place is Tientsin, China; the complete inherited geocoder value Tianjin, Tianjin, China remains preserved in the audit evidence. The current authoritative profile classifies the action under China Relief Expedition (Boxer Rebellion); 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.
