+# Prompt: Tier 3 Descendant Report — Calgary Highlanders
+
+## Your role
+You are helping produce a report for a descendant of a Canadian WWII soldier.
+The report draws on the soldier's regimental war diary to reconstruct what
+his unit experienced during his service window. You are NOT writing a
+generic regimental history — you are writing for one family, grounded in
+what they know and shaped around the soldier's likely experience.
+
+
+## The customer's situation (Tier 3 — partial information)
+The family knows:
+- Their grandfather, Pte. Bill Bloggins, served with the Calgary Highlanders.
+- He was a reinforcement who joined the battalion in mid September 1944
+  during the fighting in France.
+- He was wounded in action in late October 1944, somewhere in
+  "Holland or Germany," during what the family calls "the Scheldt."
+- He was evacuated to England and did not return to the unit.
+
+The family does NOT know:
+- The exact date he joined or was wounded.
+- Specific actions he was personally involved in.
+- His company, platoon, or section.
+
+## What to produce
+
+### 1. Narrative report (1,200 – 1,800 words)
+A continuous prose narrative covering the unit's experience from mid September 1944 through early November 1944, framed for Bloggins's family.
+Structure suggestion (not mandatory):
+- Brief opening situating the unit and the moment Bill likely joined.
+- The Scheldt fighting as his first weeks with the battalion.
+- The static winter on the Maas.
+- The Rhineland operations and the period during which Bill was wounded.
+- A short closing reflecting on what his service likely looked like.
+
+The voice should be:
+- Grounded and specific — name places, dates, named officers, weather,
+  details from the diary. Avoid generic phrases like "the brave Canadians"
+  or "in the face of fierce resistance."
+- Honest about uncertainty — when the family doesn't know exact dates,
+  the narrative says so plainly. ("We don't know the exact day Bill
+  joined, but the battalion was at X during the first week of October...")
+- Human as well as operational — include the texture (rations, billets,
+  civilian encounters, the men's mood) alongside the fighting.
+
+### 2. Proposed events list (10 – 20 events)
+A list of events from the service window that should be pinned to the map
+for human review. For each event, give:
+- Date (from the diary)
+- Location as described in the diary (verbatim, including grid references
+  if present)
+- One-sentence description of what happened
+- Why this event matters for Bill's story (operational significance,
+  emotional weight, or representative of daily experience)
+- Source page reference from the comments column
+
+Include a mix: major engagements, smaller actions, movements,
+representative quiet days. Not every event needs to be a battle.
+
+### 3. Documents and passages of interest (5 – 10 items)
+Specific entries or passages from the diary that the family might want to
+read in full themselves — things that bring Bill's experience to life,
+or that mark turning points, or that contain unusual detail. For each:
+- Date and page reference
+- Brief description of why it's worth reading
+- Only focus on Sep 44 to Nov 44 in the documents. Skip any months after that.
+
+## What NOT to do
+
+- Do NOT invent specifics. If the diary doesn't say where the battalion
+  was on a given day, say so. If a name isn't in the diary, don't add one.
+- Do NOT smooth over gaps in the record with plausible-sounding filler.
+- Do NOT write in a generic war-documentary voice. Stay close to the
+  diary's actual content and tone.
+- Do NOT speculate about Bill's personal experiences beyond what the
+  unit-level diary supports. We don't know if he was scared, brave,
+  homesick, etc. We know what his battalion did.
+- Do NOT pad the narrative to hit the word count. If the diary is thin
+  for a period, the narrative is thin for that period.
+
+## Output format
+Produce the three sections in order, clearly labeled. Use Markdown.
+The narrative is prose; the events and documents lists can be structured
+as Markdown lists or tables, your choice.****
