Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (daily-post corroboration): ServiceNo 8717111 cleared -- PersonNumber 30468 (Gebashe, Dumile Modestus) has this number explicitly confirmed by a Graham Last Post / Mike Sandham / Bushwar Books citation already on file, and this record's copy conflicts with it (different name, different DateDeath). Original value: "8717111".
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 ("Central Flying School") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 12 Sep 2026: 8717111 Rfn J P Gcabashe, 21 Battalion, died of disease at St. Aiden's Hospital Durban, age 43. Same date/hospital as this record (stored FirstName Patrick Alan, Initials J P; St Aidens). SN 8717111 was cleared 25 Aug 2026 because PN 30468 Gebashe Dumile Modestus holds that number with a Graham 18 Aug citation — not restored. CONFLICTS flagged, not changed: age 43 vs stored 26; unit Graham 21 Battalion vs stored Central Flying School. Not on Bushwar same-day post.
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".
