SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 73233512BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "FINCHAM, DOUGLAS RAYMOND" (2 LT, Sterf 04 02 82), matching PersonNumber 30321 (Fincham, DateDeath 1982-02-04) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "73233512BG". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Douglas Raymond") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 30321 ("Fincham, Douglas Raymond", initials D R) -- this record's own stored initials (G G J) don't match "Douglas Raymond" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 30321 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("82 Mechanised Brigade") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
