Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 30 Aug 2026: two members of 1 Maintenance Unit were killed in a private motorcycle accident at Christiana, both suffering severe head injuries. Cpl J.J. de Beer, age 19. Matches ROH record (same incident as Van Rhede Van Oudtshoorn, A., PersonNumber 33575).
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
