Research notes
Bushwar Books 22 Aug 2026: FirstName corrected from "Johan (p.j.)" to Jacobus Lodewickus (matches Initials J L and exact ServiceNo 90447897).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("85 Combat Flying School") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
