Research notes

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 24 Jul 2026: 67495002 Sergeant Izak Cornelius Du Plessis, 1 Air Depot, died in 1 Military Hospital from cancer, age 25. ROH records HF Verwoerd Hospital (Pretoria); Graham says 1 Military Hospital.
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.
