Deyes , Brian Collin (B C)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 15 Sep 2026: 84570126BG Lance Corporal Brian Collin Deyes, killed instantly when his private motor vehicle was involved in a collision in Potgieter Street that caused the vehicle to overturn, age 20. ServiceNo +BG suffix (was 84570126). Date/age/cause already matched. CONFLICT flagged, not changed: Graham gives "Air Force Headquarters", stored Unit is "Finance Dept" -- not necessarily contradictory (could be a Finance post within Air Force HQ), left as recorded.
Bushwar Books Lest We Forget 15 September (https://www.warbooks.co.za/posts/lest-we-forget-15-september/ independently confirms Graham's Unit "Air Force Headquarters" -- RESOLVED, previously-flagged conflict with stored "Finance Dept": Unit updated to Air Force Headquarters (two independent sources now agree).
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.
