Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 76915420SP cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '76' implies registration circa 1976 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1960. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1923, a mismatch; PersonNumber 29824 (Conga, implied birth circa 1959) fits instead. Original value: "76915420SP".
