Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 16 Apr 2026: 05251996PE Warrant Officer Class I Johannes Jacobus Fouche, South African Army, killed in a military vehicle accident at the P W Botha Training Area, age 49. ROH DateDeath is 1990-04-16; unit is 2 Signals Regiment (not overwritten).
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 ("2 Signals Regiment") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
