Constance (C A)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 29 Aug 2026 and Mike Sandham's 29 Aug 2026 email (crediting South Africa War Graves Project) agree: Chief Petty Officer C.A. Constance, Naval Base Simonstown, South African Navy, died of unknown causes at Lotus River, Cape Town, age 35 (Sandham separately notes SAWGP's own ServiceNo for this person is one digit short of a full number, same as ROH's stored 7-digit '7100279'). ROH's prior Age (20), Unit ('32 (Buffalo) Battalion' -- nonsensical for a Navy Chief Petty Officer at Simonstown) and FirstName ('James', not matching initials 'C A') all appear to be wrong / contamination. Age corrected to 35 and Unit corrected to Simonstown Naval Base on both Graham's and Sandham/SAWGP's independent agreement; FirstName cleared (unknown -- 'James' does not match 'C A' and no source gives the true given names).
