Research notes
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 1939, a mismatch; PersonNumber 29922 (Dammert, implied birth circa 1972) fits instead. Original value: "88327762BG".
