Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The reference profile corrects surname capitalization, records Brevet Major as the highest rank, and preserves both action locations rather than the inherited state-only geocoder value. The citation matches exactly.
