Official institutional sources disagree on a citation detail. The inherited canonical wording and the current Society wording are retained separately with supporting source records; no silent overwrite was performed.

Canonical action date follows the current reference profile (1865-01-15); the inherited 1865-01-16 rendering remains preserved as a documented legacy variant. The current Army citation index independently retains January 16, making this a preserved official-source date conflict.
