Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile comparison is documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The Society page supplies only April 1862 and renders “harrison” with a lowercase initial. Standard name capitalization is used canonically while the exact rendered heading and legacy initialed form remain aliases. Corporal remains rank at action, distinct from the later highest rank Second Lieutenant.
