Research notes
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Navy" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Army". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.

From Susan Fouche: Ondangwa is n hartseer plek. Frikkie was bevorder tot RSM, trots en gretig om daar te kom vroeg Januarie 1986. Op 23 Februarie was n familiedag gereël en n bus vol mans, vroue en kinders vertrek na Ruacana wat n landmyn aftrap met regter voorwiel. Frikkie en Gisela het agter Willem die busbestuurder gesit. Frikkie het uit bus geklim en ineengestort voor bus, maar Gisela was uit bus geruk en - 80m agter bus te lande gekom in teerpad. Hul albei ernstig beseer word ingevlieg 1 Mil toe. Frikkie sterf aan beserings 18 Maart en Gisela het albei haar bene verloor onder knieg. Alles gebeur binne amper 3 maande. Hartseer storie.
