DATE DISCREPANCY 25 Aug 2026: pantser.cmvo.org.za's SADF deaths PDF gives this person's Sterf (date of death) as "16 10 85" (DD MM YY) against the same ServiceNo (82401720BG) and name -- differs from this record's DateDeath (1985-11-16). Not overwritten, flagged for reference.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: dates of death differ -- Mike 1985-10-16 this record 1985-11-16. A gap of a few days commonly separates wounding from death, or a burial date from a death date. Flagged, not changed.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 18 against this record's 19 (a difference of one year, so most likely a birthday-not-yet-reached transcription difference rather than a real disagreement). This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
