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 Private (Highest Rank: Corporal); action and later or highest ranks remain separately attributed. The controlled canonical unit or command is Not documented; the current structured profile renders Not documented, and the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The controlled action-date display is June 20–July 16, 1900; the current structured source value and any fuller citation chronology remain separately attributed. The controlled historical action place is Peking, China; the current structured place Peking, China and the complete inherited geocoder value Beijing, Beijing, China remain preserved in the audit evidence. 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.
