SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 88327762BG 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 1911, a mismatch; PersonNumber 29922 (Dammert, implied birth circa 1972) fits instead. Original value: "88327762BG". | Unit was contaminated with an unrelated Army unit (Infantry Battalion/Artillery Regiment/Commando/Special Service Battalion) that makes no sense for Air Force personnel -- found 28 Aug 2026 while investigating a similar report (PersonNumber 30827, Janse Van Rensburg). Affects 32 "ref. 85 years of SAAF" records in total, all correctly Corps = South African Air Force but each with a different, unrelated ground-forces Unit value -- looks like a batch-import misalignment bug, not a single bad value repeated. Cleared rather than guessed at a correct Unit.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". 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.
