Research notes

Cleared stolen ServiceNo 84074103BW (belongs to Dolf P. PN 30097, SACC attd 116 SAI, 1986-03-04; this record is 1985).
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Petrus") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 30097 ("Dolf, Petrus", initials P) -- this record's own stored initials (M) don't match "Petrus" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 30097 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed.
14 Sep 2026: Pro Patria Medal added -- database-wide sweep for SADF Border War operational-area deaths within the medal's gazetted window (25 Jun 1976 - 27 Apr 2003), per the warrant's died-before-qualifying-period provision. See PersonAward.Citation for the gazette references.
14 Sep 2026: Pro Patria Medal added earlier today REVERTED -- John obtained the actual Government Gazette (GG 5171/5575); the "died before completing the qualifying period" provision relied on does not exist in the primary text (it was a secondary-source claim). Actual Rule 5 requires (a) combat/enemy-caused incident, (b) a Ministerially-acknowledged operation (clasp), or (c) 55+ continuous/90+ non-continuous days in an operational area -- none of which this record's cause of death clearly demonstrates.
