How it is shown: Cropped to the document only: the viewer's toolbar, buttons, page counter and any account name are removed; no retouch of the document, no highlight. The saved original screenshot stays private.

Keep in mind: Likely: this is a secondary account that cites an unread Hughes diary (2 Sep 1943) and the Official Army Register; the Naval Academy detail is Confirmed separately.
