Grobler , Reinier Nicholaas Johannes (R N J)

25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" 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 "Air Force".
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 27 Sep 2026: "75297598BT Private Renier Nicolaas Johannes Grobler, a SAAF Dog Handler from 3 Satellite Radar Station at Mafeking, was killed in a private motor vehicle accident near Ottoshoop. He was doing a compulsory 30 day camp at the time of his death. He was 22." Confirms the record; the service number gains its suffix, "75297598" becoming "75297598BT". Graham spells the forenames "Renier Nicolaas" against this record's "Reinier Nicholaas" -- the same man, and neither spelling is preferred over the other. Graham adds that he was a dog handler on a compulsory camp, which this record did not say.
