Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 76470889BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "BRESLER, GARY" (SMN, Sterf 11 12 83), matching PersonNumber 29584 (Bresler, DateDeath 1983-12-11) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "76470889BG". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "Administrative Services Corps" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
