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

The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved. The current authoritative text reads “Gallantry in combat with five Indians.” while the inherited citation reads “Gallantry in a combat with 5 Indians.”; both renderings remain independently preserved without replacing the legacy citation.
