Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current official profile expands the middle name, identifies Major and Surgeon in the rank detail, supplies the U.S. Volunteers component, and replaces the inherited modern geocoder wording with Alos, Zambales, Luzon.
