Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 88743539PE cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '88' implies registration circa 1988 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1972. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1915, a mismatch; PersonNumber 29865 (Cramp, implied birth circa 1971) fits instead. Original value: "88743539PE".
