Abstract
A typescript collection of letters written by Keith Macgowan during his army service in the 131st Battalion of the New Westminster Regiment, the majority to his mother, Fanny Owen Macgowan. The letters date from April 30, 1916 to November of 1919 and cover Captain Macgowan's training at Victoria and Vernon BC, the battlefields in France and Belgium and postwar in Belgium and Canada. The letters describe daily life at the front, difficult conditions in the trenches, death and injury to friends and fellow soldiers, the work of his batmen, and experiences on leave in Paris and London. A number of letters describe Macgowan's legal work during the war, when he was occasionally assigned to defend soldiers accused of crimes, including desertion(a hanging offense). Biography: Keith Campbell Macgowan was born in Gowan Brae, PEI in 1890 and died in New Westminster BC in 1934. He was admitted to the bar in 1912, and joined the 131st Battalion of the New Westminster Regiment in 1916. During World War I, Macgowan was promoted to the rank of Captain, and was also engaged in scouting missions and providing legal work for the army.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
