Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 12 Jun 2024: 76451947BG Rifleman Jacobus Willem Du Plessis, 1 Parachute Battalion, killed in a private motor vehicle accident at Dealsville, age 19. Regiment already 1 Parachute Battalion. Unit was 2 Special Service Battalion — corrected to 1 Parachute Battalion. Service number suffix BG added. Cause already Dealsville MVA.
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".
