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, unit or command, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current profile also supplies the separately retained rank rendering Fireman (Highest Rank: Fireman First Class); action and later or highest ranks remain separately attributed. The controlled canonical unit or command is U.S.S. Carondelet; the current structured profile renders U.S.S. Carondelet, and the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The controlled action-date display is March 1863; the current structured source value and any fuller citation chronology remain separately attributed. The controlled historical action place is Deer Creek Expedition, Mississippi, USA; the current structured place Deer Creek Expedition, Mississippi, USA and the complete inherited geocoder value United States remain preserved in the audit evidence. The official profile publishes month-level action-date precision only. The normalized storage date uses 1863-03-01 solely as a technical month anchor; the controlled public display remains March 1863 and no exact day is claimed. The inherited full citation remains canonical and checksum-protected; current rendered wording is preserved separately where transcribed. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
